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.
Catheters can also sometimes lead to other problems, such as bladder spasms (similar to stomach cramps), leakages, blockages, and damage to the urethra. Read more about the risks of urinary catheterisation. Page last reviewed: 16/03/2017. Next review due: 16/03/2020.
