1) male or female this would hurt. 2) a catheter is used when someone goes into surgery in order to drain urine with out needing a bathroom. It's a small tube inserted through the urethar into the bladder. A small balloon is then inflated with saline solution to ensure that the catheter stays in position and doesn't slip out.

Why is everyone saying things like "I'm a girl and I'm wincing"? Aren't women's urethras just as small as men's? Wouldn't it hurt about the same?

How in the hell did that happen? I have to use them once in a while, and my urologist showed my mom how to put them in and take them out. She does it with no problem. Sorry you had to go thru that. If you ever have to have another one, now you know to have the nurse make sure she got all the water out before she pulls it out.

I'm a chick and the same thing happened to me! and she yanked hard too. and when she did it she laughed and said oops guess I didn't deflate the balloon all of the way.

I can feel that pain. The level to which that must suck cannot be described
