lidocaine jelly for catheterization

A few years ago my mom was diagnosed with vaginal and rectal cancer in the end the doctor prescribed her lidocaine 2% jelly for painful intercourse and bowel movements. Would it be safe to use it during anal sex? I have used it before after the birth of my daughter and it worked wonders. I would like an idea on it before I did use it.

I have IC and have to self cath to do bladder instills. Pediatric catheters are recommended for us and they have them from 8-12 FR. I prefer a 10fr cath personally. Also using lidocaine on the catheter for insertion helps ease discomfort. Is this an indwelling catheter or a intermittent one?

I am not new to self cathing. Been a couple of years. Reuse catheters until they fall apart. Originally, got horrendous infections. Last 18 months or so, infections: zero. No boiling. No soap. For me the secret is one word: alcohol. I use generous amounts of hand sanitizer on hands and penis before procedure. Catheters are stored in a bath of 90%+ alcohol. (Higher the percentage, quicker they dry before use by waving around).

Over the last 2 years I have had a urethral catheter for a year and a suprapubic catheter for about a year. I have had to have the catheters changed every 4 months. I can state that the urethral catheter which is inserted through the penis into the bladder is not pain full. It can be uncofortable but not pain full. The thing that you have to do is to relax and not clamp down once you feel the catheter near the sphyncters. We normally have the reflex to resist things like this.

Should I consult my doc or what. I used dibucaine ointment and am contemplating lidocaine jelly. Any other tx options would be appreciated.

m not sure which it is, it just started being painful in the last two days, and I have yet to see a doctor - I have Lidocaine Hydrochloride Jelly USP 2% prescription, dated 2/14/12, that was never opened, can I use it safely to see if it helps,

I was diagnosed with genital hsv2 about 3 months ago through PP. The initial outbreak was almost over when I was tested so I don't know if the acyclovir aided in clearing it up or not. I was told to take it 3x a day whenever I first notice symptoms and continue for 7-10 days, longer if it isn't cleared up yet. I've had at least 2 more outbreaks in the same spot since then and been taking the acyclovir for about a month straight right now.

In the future, ask doc to prescribe lidocaine jelly, so that you are prepared in case you get a painful one, just in case. Save it for when you need it. Clean wound twice a day. I might also suggest keeping prescription pain killers handy, but don't use unless you need it to avoid addiction. I had a very painful episode the night after thanksgiving when all the docs were on vacation and I would have had to pay off hours fee at a clinic.

My uro only used lidocaine while doing it for most. I however ask in advance for something. I have found by taking a muscle relaxer like Valium right be fore going to the procedure (GET A DRIVER!) really helps things be relaxed and go better all the way around. I ask them to use lidocaine and take an instant ice pack with me and put ice on immediately afterward helps too. Taking AZO, or pryidium which is prescription also helps cut down on the soreness afterward.

My specialist suspects pulmonary hypertension and has so far given me a VQ scan which has proved negative. I am due for a TOE which I think is an oesophagal tube which can give an echocardiogram of the heart from the back and cross section. I am also due to wear a Novacor monitor (when our NHS can get one!). Will these tests determine once and for all whether I do also have PH?

This is a question for your doctor or a pharmacist.

My uncle who had cancer found that it was the only thing that took his back pain away. It has some sort of lidocaine, novocaine, or zylocaine properties in it that numbs the area of pain.I think you would benefit from it. You can pick it up from Walmart. If not, ask your doc For some Zylocaine Jelly. This is prescription strength and numbs the area really good, without making you feel high.Hope this helps.

For the pain or discomfort of the urethra you could ask of the following, Xylocain jelly 2% or 5% cream. For any possible bladder spasms you could ask for Buscopan. Due to other neurological and urological problems I use Morphine for pain. I hope that you will be able to get some relief, as I know how it can wear you down. All the best.

Should catheterization be administered ONLY by the oncologist or any experienced nurse can do it with no possibility of adding risk to the procedure?

t find it at the drugstore either bit other hospitals give it to you. Also my doc prescribed Lidocaine Jelly which is a topical that helps ease discomfort with stitches. Try that and do you r sitz baths...mine never itched but were extremely painful and sensitive.

I still try to have it occasionally and sometimes use a spray with lidocaine. Every time I have sex I always bleed afterwards, not too much but it’s every single time. This is without using the spray/ unprotected/protected and using the spray. I’ve had a vaginal ultrasound in April which was normal and I’m clean for all sexual infections and have never had one. Can anyone suggest what to do or what it could be?

Can aspercreme with lidocaine be used on a burn caused by a flame if its not blistered

After identifying the defects a cardiac catheterization helps to study the arterial structure of the heart and to identify the blocks for further therapy. So, your doctor has asked for cardiac catheterization. Please follow up with him. Regards.

I am terrified of needles too and I FELT NOTHING.. They used Buffered Lidocaine injection which I did not feel any of.. I must admit, I did put over the counter Lidocaine cream all over my breast about an hour before the procedure. I used this Lidocaine cream on my arm before a tetanus shot that I had to get and was so afraid of and I was screaming for the nurse to WAIT but.. IT WAS ALREADY DONE! Helps a lot so you don't feel pain. Nurse also gave me tips for next time I get an injection.

In my case, the rationale given for a cardiac catheterization is "suspicion" of blockage. At high risk for complications of the procedure itself, being mentally prepared for an invasive procedure is very difficult. Might women who have not had an infarction, but who have undergone cardiac catheterization please relate their experiences.

An excellent study by Greenwell et al suggests that self-catheterization has no value, at least for anterior strictures,1 and the current authors add doubt about its usefulness for posterior urethral distraction injuries. This suboptimal management scheme remains wildly popular, judging by the referral population seen at our clinic, despite the real doubts as to its efficacy. It is another specter in need of a stake to the heart, in my opinion. Richard A.
