Title: pain in the privates when drainning!
Post by: lou on December 22, 2009, 07:35:04 AM: Ok bit of a strange one maybe? I started pd again last night after having my new tube fitted on Friday. Every time it drained during the night I woke up with the most horrible pain in the you know where! All I could do was bite on the pillow to stop myself screaming out. Please tell me I'm not going mad and someone out there knows what this is??? :stressed;

Hope your all having a good holiday x x

My PD nurse told me she had never heard of this before. We decided it must just be sucking and hitting a certain nerve to cause the pain. I explained it like an electrical shock. it eventually went away or i just got use to it lol.

if it doesn't get better for you i suggest you don't fully drain at night do tidal and you will only have to suffer from it on the last drain.

it only hurts at the end of a drain right?

Post by: girliekick on December 23, 2009, 11:43:50 PM: read some of my first post this was a huge problem for me, i now do tidal, and it is less of a problem. The is there almost every night. I tried many things to help. Surg, cath manipulation -very painful- pain meds, and removing my IUD.
Keep us posted

Post by: jennyc on December 28, 2009, 04:26:28 AM: It always happens to me on the first cycle (i'm on rivitrol at night so once i'm asleep i don't feel it). So long as i know i'm finished draining i just bypass the machine and go to fill.

It is getting better though; when I was going in for just a flush it was horrible. I had pain in my testicles, the head of the penis, bladder and prostrate. I understand the bladder and prostrate but I guess the other must be pressure on a nerve.
