alright a urinary catheter is a long tube that is inserted into the penis all the way up to the bladder usually about 18 inches it has nothing to do with your spinster muscle

ok can i get some more info although i will try to answer this for you without it. Has she had a bowel movement recently before the citrate? if you say no then the hard swelling could be really bad. And she needs to be seen now. If her bowels explode it will kill a person in 48 hours....... This is nothing to play with..........If you dont believe me call your local pharmacist or hospital they will confirm.......Her large intestine could be knotted and this she needs to be seen for also. Dont wait til doctors hours take her to the er. If they are twisted or knotted and she pushes too hard it will explode.....

Tens units don't cause muscle contraction, they are only good for pain because they are sensory only. You are wasting your time. And you're going to die anyway.

hey, ball-sy question to ask but...\ni USED to hold it too long and ended up get frequent pains? down there? \nanyways, my friend, too said she used to do this, but she actually ended up getting a bladder INFECTION! so, after hearing this, of course i don't hold it too long. \nIts understandable sometimes, but i would suggest not doing this regularly!\n;)

I had all four of mine pulled in the Navy, out on the ship - so they didn't even put me out.  Just gave me novacaine (which didn't work - they didn't give me enough, I still felt everything).  Avoid smoking and sucking on things until you are all healed.  Otherwise you'll get dry socket.  I didn't, but I heard it's extremely painful.  Follow your instructions from your dentist, he may tell you not to gargle with alcoholic mouth wash for a while.  When mine were pulled they gave me Tylenol 3 and Motrin 800.  I only used a total of 4 Motrins over the course of 2 days just to keep the swelling down.  I didn't have hardly any swelling, or extra bleeding.  Just keep clean gause in the back.  It was uncomfortable, but not nearly as painful as everyone always says.  I ate Easy Mac, Top Ramen - things of that nature for a couple days.  Something easy to swallow and didn't invole much chewing.  You'll be just fine.\nGood Luck

I'm no doctor but, you need to see a professional about this . My son was a three time state weight lifting champion in three separate weight classes during his high school years . Needless to say I have seen a lot of weight lifting injuries . He once had a "strange pain " in his lower arm , and one day while working out ,his fore arm mussels contracted so tightly they forced all of they body fluid from the mussel ,forming a huge bag of liquid under his forearm . The local doctor started to lance it to relieve the pain but , luckily he contacted a sports medicine doctor who stopped him from making a big mistake . After some intense physical therapy and meds the arm reabsorbed the liquid and he was back to normal . No pain however slight should be ignored . It's your body telling you something is wrong . I ignored a pain in my lower leg for over a year thinking it was just mussel strain or shin splints . It turned out to be a low grade slow growing bone cancer . So don't blow it off . GET IT CHECKED BY A PROFESSIONAL.

I have had a few non operative cystoscopy.  There is an operative cystoscopy procedure that i know nothing about.  Here is what you can expect from the non operative version:\n\n1.) the doctor will tell you it normally lasts around 45 minutes.  \n2.) No it does not hurt.  The tubing is very small in diameter.\n3.) nope didn't feel a thing except for the nurses hand on my privates hehe\n4.) yes i was awake the whole time\n5.) lydocaine can be used to numb the urethra

youre lucky you put it back in place, thats definately gonna make it sore so you gotta relax and try not to put too much pressure on it. if you had dislocated it that would have been 4-6 weeks wrapped up.

I just got mine removed and boy am I sore.  I am not sure about the liver flushing but my surgeon said that the liver is ok without the gallbladder and the tube that connects to it adapts and get a little bigger to release what the gallbladder did so there should not be any problems with having it out.  I will be asking my doctor about this though when I go back for my checkup.  Thanks..

The procedure only takes a few minutes.  It doesnt hurt, but it is alittle uncomfortable.  the doctor will use a numbing agent so that you do not feel the scrapping of you uterus.

The treatment can depend on one or more of these factors: the size of the cyst, how painful it is, if it's infected and your age. In some cases, a small cyst can just be watched over time to see if it grows. In other cases, the doctor can perform a minor procedure in the office. In this procedure, the doctor puts a small tube, called a Word catheter, into the cyst. The catheter stays in place for 2 to 4 weeks, draining the fluid and causing a normal gland opening to form. Then the catheter is easily taken out in the doctor's office. If you have this catheter put in, you can go on with your normal activity, although having sex would be uncomfortable while the catheter is in place. \nAnother treatment that can also be done in the doctor's office is making a small cut in the cyst to drain the fluid. Stitches are then placed at the edge of the cyst to allow a small opening to form. This procedure is called a marsupialization. You may have light discharge for a few weeks. Panty liners should be all you need to use to take care of this discharge. Less common procedures involve using a laser or removing the entire gland surgically. Both of these procedures are usually performed in an outpatient operating room as same-day surgery. This does not affect fertility, and you have two glands- one on each lip.

*** If you still have bladder controll (not sure how high up your spinal injury is), I would recommend straight-cathing... you dont leave them in so you have a lower risk of getting an infection

Well, I would say not more than 10 minutes, or you may go into shock from the cold water.  As a nurses aid we only let patients have an ice pack on for 10 - 15 min.  ice can burn your skin.  I am South African and we have a saying for Rugby. "Donate Blood! Play Rugby"  Good luck.

Yea, mine ruptured 7 weeks prior to surgery. I almost died from the infection. If they need removed, gett'em out.

Its been awhile, but my son had one, I don't know what the company would do or say, but I think you would of felt if it was broken too far in (like burning) and it depends on how long ago did you go in? Ask a nurse. Because it does happen, and your gonna stay worried until you talk to someone.

About 4 hours.\n\nYou're dribbling a bit there, you might want to get a tissue.

They will put you to sleep and make a small incision near your belly button. Then they will pump you full of gas to help your other organs move out of the way so that the cyst can be easily seen.\n\nThey will remove the cyst, stitch you up and give you guidelines for taking care of the surgical site.  Pay very careful attention to those details. My site got infected because not all of the stitches dissolved.  (Though I didn't realize it.)\n\nThe gas will absorb into your system on it's own.  You will feel bloated and full from that. Don't despair. It will go away.  They may say something like 3 days, but it could take a week.\n\nGood luck!
