Can I insert something into the urethra?

Update Date: Source: Network

Do not insert anything into the small urethral orifice, even if there is local inflammation. Inserting medication into the urethral orifice is not advisable as it can easily lead to drug resistance and hinder the treatment of the disease. Inserting objects into the urethral orifice can easily cause infection, resulting in symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, and bloody urine. Furthermore, the inflammation may ascend and infect neighboring organs, increasing the difficulty of treatment.

Avoid inserting foreign objects into the urethra, as it can cause symptoms such as painful urination, bloody urine, lower abdominal pain, and even difficulty urinating. In severe cases, it can lead to bladder bleeding, urethral stenosis, and urinary tract infections. If a foreign object enters the bladder, it may form a stone over time, damaging the bladder's urination mechanism and causing urine to flow back into the kidneys, affecting kidney function. Long-term untreated conditions may lead to severe consequences such as uremia.

What happens when foreign objects are inserted into the urethra:

1. After inserting a foreign object into the urethra, patients may experience varying degrees of frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination. Some people may also notice bloody urine (referring to visually observed blood in urine, which should be distinguished from urethritis symptoms) or interrupted urination. Additionally, some individuals may develop urethral peritonitis or urethral peritonitis abscesses, and in severe cases, bladder stones.

2. If a foreign object remains in the bladder for a long time, it can cause inflammatory infections that damage the urethra and may even affect our intestines, resulting in the excretion of food residues through the urethra. Some people may experience lower abdominal pain.

3. However, urethral foreign bodies are a typical case, so diagnosis is not particularly difficult. Still, many people choose not to seek medical attention due to embarrassment or are reluctant to inform doctors of the actual situation. Some people even allow foreign objects to remain in their bodies for over 30 years, leading to other diseases.
