Yes, it's probably caused by trauma to the area due to 5 different people trying to cath you! That is truly awful. Why didn't they just allow you to give a clean catch? What were you there for? Was the blood bright red, clots, or just streaks? If I had to guess by tomorrow you won't see any as its due to the cath. That sounds like a terrible experience and I'm sorry you had to go through that.
So, then yes I absolutely think that it's from the trauma with the way you described it. There is a certain technique to cathing women and if you don't do it all the time then it can be difficult. I'm guessing in a Dr's office they just weren't that skilled, because no matter how small I've never had trouble but I also work in women's health and cath all the time. They do need to figure out what's going on. But remember you are the patient and in control. You can ALWAYS decline something. If that ever happens again you can tell them no you would like to do try a clean catch first and if it comes back contaminated then you will allow the cath. But you do not have to do anything you don't want to.
