Frequent urination issues after self-defense against a urinary tract infection?


Hello Doctor: A few days ago, I inserted chopsticks about 2 centimeters into my urethra during masturbation, and since then, I have been experiencing frequent urination and the urge to urinate.
Could this be related to that? Did I injure something inside, or is it more psychological? I don't think I'll do this again...
Is there a risk associated with playing with the urethra?

Mr. Wu, 20~29 year old female. Ask Date: 2018/05/10

Hello: It is strongly advised not to engage in activities that may lead to injury, as certain body types can develop scar tissue and narrowing, which may result in urinary issues in the future.
Currently, there may be no obvious symptoms in the short term, but it is not favorable in the long run.
Wishing you good health.

More Info


Frequent urination after self-stimulation, especially following an unusual or potentially harmful practice such as inserting an object into the urethra, can indeed be concerning. The symptoms you are experiencing may be related to a few different factors, including physical injury, irritation, or psychological responses.

Firstly, inserting objects into the urethra can lead to physical trauma. The urethra is a sensitive structure, and any foreign object can cause irritation, inflammation, or even injury. This can result in symptoms such as frequent urination, a burning sensation, or a feeling of urgency. If the urethra is damaged, it may become more sensitive, leading to an increased urge to urinate. Additionally, if there is any bleeding or discharge, it could indicate an infection or more severe injury, which would require medical attention.

Secondly, the psychological aspect cannot be overlooked. Engaging in activities that you later perceive as risky or harmful can lead to anxiety or stress, which may manifest as increased urinary frequency. This is often referred to as "psychogenic" or "functional" urinary frequency, where the urge to urinate is heightened due to psychological factors rather than a physical cause.

Moreover, if you have experienced any discomfort, pain, or changes in your urinary pattern following this incident, it is crucial to seek medical advice. A healthcare professional can perform a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination and possibly urine tests, to rule out any infections or injuries.
In terms of safety, inserting objects into the urethra is generally not recommended. It can lead to various complications, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), urethral strictures, or even damage to the bladder. If you are considering exploring this area further, it is essential to prioritize safety. Always ensure that any objects used are specifically designed for such purposes, are clean, and are used with caution to minimize the risk of injury or infection.

In conclusion, the frequent urination you are experiencing could be a result of physical irritation from the insertion, psychological anxiety, or a combination of both. It is advisable to consult a healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and receive appropriate care. They can provide guidance on safe practices and help address any underlying issues contributing to your symptoms. Remember, your health and safety should always come first.
