Croup is a condition that develops quickly in children and is usually caused by a viral infection in the upper airways, which is localised in the throat and surrounding tissues. It's characterised by a barking cough. It's fairly uncommon and affects more boys than girls.
However, depending on the type of catheter you had installed (a urethral or a suprapubic catheter), you may still experience some catheter pain, especially in the case of an indwelling catheter that is expected to stay in your bladder for awhile â usually from a few days all the way up to forever.
Furthermore, if theyâre not inserted properly, catheters can cause internal bleeding and damage to the urinary tract. Many patients also find them uncomfortable and painful; they can cause the skin in the area to break down and trigger bladder stones, causing pain and difficulty passing urine. Worryingly, sometimes the wrong type is used. There are different catheters for short and long-term use, and for men and women.
