Catheterization and stomach gurgling

smokey · 07-31-2001, 05:01 PM

Often times when I catheterize myself, my stomach starts gurgling-no pain-no sensations like I'm about to crap or anything- just loud bowel sounds. Does this happen to any of you folks out there? Thanks.

It must be the relief in pressure. Maybe the Bladder presses against the lower intestine or something, thats what I always thought.
