Painful Urination After Urethral Experiment: What to Do Next?

Experiencing a burning sensation or pain during urination?

I saw an SM video today where they inserted objects into the urethra.
Out of curiosity, I impulsively decided to try it myself.
I found a wooden toothpick, which I disinfected with medical alcohol before inserting it into my urethra.
One end is pointed and the other is flat, and I used the flat end, which has some grooves on it.
Inserting it was a bit painful but bearable, so I pushed it in deeper.
When I pulled it out, it also hurt a bit, but I was careful.
Now, I experience sharp pain when urinating, and there’s a strange pressure sensation in my bladder.
What should I do? If it doesn’t improve in a few days, should I seek medical attention?

More Info

Engaging in urethral experimentation, especially with improvised objects, can lead to significant complications, including painful urination, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and potential damage to the urethra or bladder. Your symptoms of sharp pain during urination and a sensation of pressure in the bladder are concerning and warrant immediate attention.

Firstly, it is crucial to understand that the urethra is a sensitive structure that can easily be injured. Inserting foreign objects, even if they are sanitized, can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract, leading to infections. The pain you are experiencing could be a result of trauma to the urethra or an infection that has developed following your experimentation.

Here are some steps you should consider taking:
1. Stop Any Further Insertion: Do not attempt to insert anything else into your urethra. Continuing to do so can exacerbate any existing injury or infection.

2. Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids. Staying hydrated can help flush out your urinary system and may alleviate some discomfort.

3. Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can help manage pain. However, consult with a healthcare provider before taking any medication, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.

4. Monitor Symptoms: Keep track of your symptoms. If the pain worsens, if you notice blood in your urine, or if you develop fever or chills, these could be signs of a more serious infection or complication.

5. Seek Medical Attention: Given your symptoms, it is advisable to see a healthcare professional as soon as possible. A urologist would be the best specialist to evaluate your condition. They may perform a physical examination, urine tests, or imaging studies to assess for any injuries or infections.

6. Discuss Your Experience: When you see a doctor, be honest about what you did. This information is crucial for them to provide the best care. They need to know about the insertion of the object and the symptoms you are experiencing.

7. Follow-Up Care: If you are diagnosed with a urinary tract infection or any other condition, follow your healthcare provider's recommendations for treatment. This may include antibiotics if an infection is present.

In conclusion, while curiosity about urethral play is not uncommon, it is essential to approach such activities with caution and awareness of the potential risks involved. Your health and safety should always come first. If your symptoms do not improve within a few days or if they worsen, do not hesitate to seek medical care. Prompt treatment can prevent complications and ensure your well-being.
