[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Urinary catheter replacement is not normally done under general anesthesia. It is normally uncomfortable but should not be painful to the extent that your father is screaming in pain. It would be important to look for a cause for this level of discomfort since this is not the expected response. Some causes of severe pain on catheterization are infection, stricture (narrowing) of some aspect of the urinary tract, perforation, using a catheter that is too large He may want to see a urologist to determine the cause of his pain. I hope this helps
