Does it hurt to insert a female catheter?

Female urinary catheter insertion may cause mild pain symptoms, but it is generally tolerable.

Urinary catheter is a foreign body, female urethra is relatively short, the process of urinary catheter insertion is relatively simple, and the irritation to the urethra is relatively small. However, women usually lubricate the urinary catheter before inserting the urinary catheter, which can reduce the irritation to the urethral mucosa and usually tolerate the discomfort caused by urinary catheter insertion.

Women can relax their emotions and body by taking deep breaths during urinary catheter insertion, which helps to improve pain, tingling and other discomfort symptoms.
