Will my doctor know I use sounds?

So I have an appointment with my gynecologist in a couple weeks and my husband uses sounds on me quite a bit. The biggest I’m able to take is a 10mm. So I guess this may be a stupid question but will my gynecologist be able to tell that I use them? This is the first time I’ve been since we started using them so I’m a little concerned he’ll be able to tell.

The size of your urethra won’t be affected if you only practice sounding every once in a while.

But if you practice regularly( think weekly)and use increasingly larger or more textured toys, your urethra may begin to stretch out.

If you plan to do this, take your time and be careful not to stretch it to the point that it hurts or causes other discomfort.

So as to your question , your gynaecologist may notice that your urethra looks wider than normal if you have been using large sounds.

We’ve been doing it for almost a year and I’m only at a 10mm. He usually sticks to the same size for quite awhile. Thanks for your reply. Hopefully he doesn’t notice then, since I don’t think it’s to stretched out. It’s definitely not as small as it use to be but I wouldn’t say it’s really stretched.

Hopefully your gynaecologist would not notice that it has been stretched/dilated as urogencecologist do dilate the urethra for stricturing. If you see the same gynaecologist then he may notice that it's been more dilated than the last time he examined you as they do look at the urethral opening as part of the gynaecological exam.

The Women's urethra is relatively short, therefore, one is fast in the bladder and there the risk of infection is very high. In the area of the vulva, it is almost impossible to work sterile. As be careful. In men, a meatus external and urethral stretch is relatively safe because the urethra to the prostate is about 19cm long. If one does not penetrate into the urinary bladder is the risk of infection is not high. Because the urethra can always rinse with sterile urine. 😄

Urine is not sterile - it may be cleaner than whatever you introduce with toys/sounds etc. but it isn't sterile.

As has been said on a previous post, it depends how often you sound. If it is only once every several weeks, then your urethra will go back to its normal size in between soundings. However, if it is more often than weekly, or so, your urethra still may be a bit dilated. I would be careful to not do it more than once every several weeks, as you may permanently dilate, or possibly tear, your sphincter- the muscle that controls urine flow. If this happens, you could have ongoing urine incontinence. I would probably also limit the soundings to 7 or so mm. If larger, you are at greater risk of incontinence.

I remember some porn videos of girls that had stretched their pee holes enough to fit a vibrator in there. I always wondered what their doctors thought when they went in for their yearly gyn exams.

Hi Zoey, did the doctor notice any difference in your urethral opening?

It’s unlikely your doctor will notice anything, unless your urethra/urethral meatus is wide enough to have a Peterbilt truck go thru it. There are videos out there with widely opened, pouting urethras and vaginas and anuses, and these have been stretched beyond normal limits. However, gentle, occasional play should not be an issue. And even so, if you are on good terms with your doc, and perhaps that doc has an open mind (or maybe is kink friendly/aware), then sharing that info isn’t a concern. Of course, they will warn you about UTIs. Sorta standard.

Urine IS sterile. The bladder and urinary tract area sterile environments... when things are not sterile, it’s usually a UTI or pyelonephritis. In other words, infection,

I got a uti once from playing with sounds. I went to the clinic to get some antibiotics and confessed to the doc that I had been playing with sounds. He looked at me and asked what that was. I thought wtf! Then I said nevermind. He wrote me a scrip and everything cleared up. I have never played with sounds again.

At that visit no my doctor didn’t say anything even if he did notice.

But now my peehole has been fingered and is definitely stretched and I have an appointment at the fertility clinic so I feel like this is going to be real awkward.

If your pussy looks like a doughnut id say yes lol

A 10mm sound is huge. It's about Fr34, which is large even for a rectal catheter and your anus has to open to pass poo. Most women use catheters in the range Fr14 to Fr22. A Fr34 is over twice the diameter of a Fr14. That's a lot of stretch.

I'd be more concerned about urinary incontinence than whether your gyno will notice.

Sorry if this is a stupid question: I know little of the female anatomy - is that where the difference lies, which would make 10mm huge?

Thinking about sounds in penises (my only frame of reference), 10mm doesn't sound huge to me at all. As a complete novice, 8mm slips in fine for me, and while my 10mm and rather long plug doesn't quite go in yet (I haven't tried much) it's not obscenely large and I'm sure I could work up to it. Would the size be a concern if going internally, as it were, beyond just the penis?

Zoey, if you haven't ben sounded in a little while, say a week or so I would not think it would be so noticeable. Of course this is speaking from a male perspective. 10mm to me at least is not so big. What is the worst that can happen if it is noticed?

Sounding and stretching is enjoyable for me. So good to hear that you and your husband enjoy it as well. I am stretched to 16mm with a homemade toy, and awaiting 16 and 17mm plugs from Amazon.

Enjoy your journey!

Typically a male in the natural state (ie: doesn't do urethral play) uses a Fr14 or Fr16 catheter. (for women it's smaller, about Fr10 to Fr12). (see Google)

If you want to convert French number to catheter diameter, divide the Fr number by 3; so a Fr16 is about 5.3mm.

A 10mm diameter (about 0.4 inches) is about a Fr30 catheter, and is huge… It is a size commonly used to go in a different hole…. think giving enemas to adults.

If you choose to play with urethral dilation, be aware you may make yourself incontinent for life.

Sound advice @RN1993 & no I'm not being jovial on this occasion.

Someone I know of may be interested in the “feelings” applicable to sounding. 😎

I'd be worried about urinary incontinence….. practice the hell out of those kegals

If your urethral meatus is gaping wide, then your GYN might be suspicious or perhaps ask questions as to WHY it is so wide. But for the most part, they probably wont notice.
