No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Currently, there are no specific guidelines or best practice suggestions for best male catheterization as fat as insertion technique. There is however, information as to reducing infection, and as to recommended lubricant.

From our experience, the investigators have noticed that when requesting the patient to attempt urination while inserting a urethral catheter, the level of pain and discomfort is reduced. In this study, the investigators will evaluate the pain level during male urethral catheterization in each technique.

Our hypothesis is that the level of pain will be much less if the in the study group where the act of urination will be requested from the patient.
