by LN56, Jan 23, 2009 06:33PM
my husband has had a cathater since dec 1, 2008. Is not empting bladder. Prostate biopsy clean. Waiting for more tests Feb 5th. I know this sounds weird....but if he needs to have a cathter for an extended period of time is it safe for him or can he have an erection. I am afraid to get close to him. Please, I need more information

I too have had indwelling catheter and used to get erections while the catheter was in. At times it has been uncomfortable but no harm has resulted.
I currently have had a catheter in for the last year, I'm 44 and have noticed that I no longer get erections as I used to. Yet the penis might not be in the complete relaxed state. Movement of the catheter can be felt. To cope with the irritation of the catheter I use Buscopan.
I don't think that erections can pose a problem. the catheter will accomodate for erections.
I hope that your husband will be able to get over his problems.
God bless,
Ron
