If inserted correctly, it should not hurt. You should just feel the desire to urinate. If pain is present, contact whoever put the catheter in.

You can develop pain in the area the catheter was inserted and when you urinate once the catheter has been taken out.

While the insertion and removal of a foley catheter can be uncomfortable for the patient, it is typically not painful. While the foley is in, there shouldn't be pain unless it is faulty or infection is present.
