Summary

Currently, there are no specific guidelines or best practice suggestions for female catheterization. However, there is a consensus that an anesthetic lubricating gel should be routinely used in women as well.

Urethral lubrication can be performed in two different techniques: instillation of the gel directly into the urethra or pouring the gel on the catheter's tip. In this study, we will evaluate the pain level during female urethral catheterization in each technique.

Our hypothesis is that the level of pain will be much less if the lubrication agent will be instilled directely to the urethra.
