Brief Answer:
Not recommended

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.

I understand you concerns but it is not recommended to masturbation if you have urinary catheter. It is technically possible, but it may be painful experience and also it may lead to retrograde ejaculation which would worsen infection and cause prostate damage. It would be better option to ask you urologist to remove the catheter for sometime.

Wish you good health. Regards
