In my mid-twenties I sneezed just as I was getting ready to pee one morning. When I pissed, there was a slight burning sensation and I remember wondering if I might have injured myself. As a couple days passed, the burning got more painful each time. By the third day I was terrified when it came time to pee. I started wondering if it was possible I had somehow contracted VD. Also, the burning no longer went completely go away when I finished.
The afternoon of the third day I was at work and had to pee and was shocked to see a stream of red coming from my penis.
I finally mustered the courage to call the clinc and they set me up to see a urologist the next morning. I asked him if it could been related to the sneezing incident, but he said it was unlikely. He then proceeded to quiz me if I had inserted anything my urethral tube. He explained how he had seen cases of broken thermometers and such. I assured him that I had not inserted anything.
Next he instructed me to produce a urine sample - I almost cried at the thought because by now pissing was like passing razor blades. But I managed to provide a bloody urine sample. He was quite concerned when he saw it. Next came a digital prostate examination. It was my first ever, so I didn't really know what to think of it. He didn't tell me what the results of the probing yielded.
Next came words that sent shivers down my spine. "We're going to need you to produce a semen sample." The idea of having to get an erection, jack off, and cum with razor blades shooting through my cock was terrifying. I was hoping that they had some magic technique to sample the semen - but no - he told me they had some magazines if that would help. I told him that I was seriously unsure if I could do it. That's when he asked if I lived locally and gave me the option to do it at home, as long as I could have back within 20 minutes after collecting it in a small plastic jar.
Well I went home and managed to accomplish the task. It didn't hurt quite as bad as urinating had, but it still was bad enough that I had cold sweats. I packaged the jar in a white paper bag they had provided and returned it to his nurse. Turns out that I had developed a prostate infection. He prescribed an antibiotic and I began noticing relief by the end of the next day.
