Walking appropriately after insertion of a urinary catheter in women does not usually cause pain, but if the catheter is inserted for too long or if the walking time is too long, it may cause discomfort.
As the urethra of female patients is straighter, shorter and thicker than that of male patients, the vagina will also secrete substances to make the vagina more lubricated after insertion of a urinary catheter, so appropriate walking after insertion of a urinary catheter will not cause pain or other uncomfortable symptoms.
However, if a female patient has had a urinary catheter in for too long, resulting in insufficient secretion of body fluids and reduced lubrication, or if she walks for too long, the friction of the urinary catheter in the vagina will be increased, which may lead to pain and other uncomfortable symptoms.
After inserting a urinary catheter, the patient should avoid exercise as much as possible, so as not to cause displacement of the urinary catheter, etc. If there are any symptoms of physical discomfort, the patient should go to the hospital in time and consult a physician for guidance.
