My husband's catheter experience and stories

The examination - part 5 subtitle: Urethra sounding

Diana: Now we're going to make an inspection of the urethra. I work with the latest micro-camera of just 5 mm, its thin as the thinnest catheter. I have a special gel that lubricates, facilitates the insertion of the camera, is also translucent and has a local anesthetic, so all that makes the inspection painless and successful. But before that, we have to expand the urethra and prepare for the passage of the camera. This is done with dilators.

She took a small metal case and opened it. Prepared antiseptic, gel, new gloves. I have helped her put on gloves in a sterile way. As she explained to me, I disinfected the dilators one by one, exactly as she instructed me. These are in fact small metal sticks long about 30 cm, slightly hidden in an unusual shape. They have different thicknesses, the thinnest is 2 mm, and then every following is thicker by one millimeter. The thickest is the number 20. Each stick I first immerse in warm water, then disinfected it, than passed to her. Diana with a syringe added gel directly in the urethra, than squeezed the head of the penis, so the gel would not go out. I lubricated the stick no. 2 and gave to Diana. Diana picked up the stick, in one hand, and in the other hand my husband's penis, and began to draw in his urethra. Hubby jerked at every tuck, Diana gently and slowly pushed the stick to slid through the urethra as long as it went smoothly. Then she pulled it out. The used sticks added to me, I put them in a disinfectant. Then I took the stick number 3 and gave to Diana. Then in the same way slowly, She inserted and retracted stick No. 3, and so on with number 4, 5 and 6. Number 6 has already gone a bit harder and Hubby started shaking. Diana continued with number 7. When she started to put number 8, Hubby was moaning from discomfort, then Diana stopped pushing, pulled out the number eight and said:

Diana: It will be enough to number eight. Now we insert the camera.

subtitle: Urethra examination with Micro camera

I took another slightly larger suitcase and opened it. There were micro cameras of different sizes and purpose. I took the camera number 5, the number indicates its thickness in millimeters, as for sticks. I added Diana the gel, and she caught Hubby penis with one hand and with the other she injected the gel into the urethra. She waited a little while I turned on and connected that smallest camera, and she slowly started to introduce the camera into the urethra. On the screen were seen images of the inside of the urethra, then the inner part of the bladder. Diana turned the camera in all directions to look at everything. Everything seemed smooth even in color and shape. The camera was so embedded through the penis, which looked pretty unusual and ridiculous. Diana took another suitcase and opened it....
