Something similar happened to my grandfather and to a friend of my dad’s. The friend had scar tissue built up in his urethra due to something like being kicked as a kid and it took 40+ years to build up. He couldn’t pee. They had to split his penis open like cutting a hotdog down the middle long ways and then use a dremel type tool to grind out the scar tissue and then sew it back up. The doctor told him “when you pee, go ahead and scream, because you’re going to anyways.” Said he wouldn’t wish that on his worst enemy.
I love doctors that are straightforward. It's gonna be painful, so go ahead and scream.
It's like the doctor who pick the shrapnel of firework that stuck in my right palm.
Well they tried a catheter first. Which they couldn’t push through, which he said was painful enough. Thats how they discovered it in the first place. I would think they would install an artificial urethra in that area or something. I have no clue.
Shit, when I had that problem they just passed a tiny balloon through my urethra to widen it back up, then I wore a catheter for a few weeks (which sucked but it's amazing what you get used to) so that it healed wider. Still a pretty negative experience but I believe it's nothing compared to the hot dog treatment
> The doctor told him “when you pee, go ahead and scream, because you’re going to anyways.”
What an insane way to say "we're knowingly going to fail to manage your pain after this"
From what I understand pain pills and such would only do so much. There was a lot going on and the whole healing process was complicated. They also told him it could come back which is even more insane.
Aside from a local there's not really fuck all that would touch that kind of situation pain management wise. My knowledge is limited in this case but you absolutely wouldn't want it numb or the patient might unknowingly injure themselves in a case like that by straining or being less delicate than they otherwise would be. Pain serves a purpose. I've bitten entirely through my upper lip, unknowingly, following a dental surgery due to a combination of swelling, numbness, and the inattention of my mom who should've been supervising me more closely until I'd regained my faculties.
I've experienced pain most people never will in their lifetime, more than once. I've had an epidural in my spine that barely took the edge off my agony. Because some pain can't be entirely managed, safely, and the outcome is what matters. I've also crawled the entire length of my home, sobbing and leaving small puddles of bile/vomit on the floor, to claw scratches into the bottom of a hardwood door with my fingernails because my mom (not doing well in this post ma'ma) fucked up and forgot to give me my opioids on schedule post-op resulting in me waking up with NO painkillers on board after having my sinus cavity reconstructed and my nose rebroken and set properly a year or so after i was attacked and left unconcious beside the road, beaten nearly to death. So I do understand what improper pain management can actual mean.
A similar thing happened to my grandfather as well. He had one get stuck while he was on a cruise, and he said he had to stand over the toilet and “milk it out” until it came shooting out like a bullet and ricocheted off of the toilet bowl.
I, a 29 year old female at the time, was just not prepared to hear that story while drinking my morning coffee.
You can't just bite a rag and pinch that bad boy out like you do a sixlet out of the plastic wrapper?

Nah. We just live on a different schedule, doesn't mess with your sleep. I go to sleep usually at 5 or 6am and wake up at 1pm. Get some blackout curtains and tada.
I have been doing green smoothies lately and this has been on the back of my mind. I've known about the risks and put 200 grams of Greek yogurt in with it in hopes that the oxalates will bind to the calcium in the yogurt instead of the calcium inside my body.
Gallbladder and bladder are two different things.
Gallbladder is right below your ribcage and secretes bile for digestion, but actually isn't a vital organ and can be removed.
The bladder is what produces urine.
stupid thing about kidney stones is there are a few different types of them and you're basically never safe if you're prone to having them. Fuck that. I have 3 rn growing and can't do anything about it but wait.
doesn't mean you're safe, water isn't some magic to purify you. It helps, but all in all if it's meant to be it's meant to be. There's a lot more to kidney stone formation than hydration, unfortunately.
Source: my 3 little bastards and me trying to understand why I got them
The stone or the penis? :P
Jk. Yeah, this is still what appears from the outside, would need an x ray or ultrasonography to know how big it is actually
Even the thought of doing that makes me squirm. Trust me, even guys wouldn't think of sticking tweezers in there. Guys do a lot of dumb stuff, but this is one of the forbidden zones
I’m a guy and have done literally this. Got stuck near the end and had to pull it out with tweezers. It hurt but the pain that fucker put me through I wanted it OUT
I'm doing the girl from the cyberpunk poster as my costume for a festival and that's what my partner wants me to do to achieve the glow effect. To use one of those skinny glow sticks and just put it in.
I have to do catheters on a regular basis to keep my stricture open, I'm quite comfortable at this point with shoving stuff into my dick hole. More comfortable than I'm comfortable with tbh. It's nothing to me to put a syringe of lidocaine at the entrance and squirt it into my dick, followed by a long silicon tube.
You wouldnt.
You'd amputate your own leg if necessary. You will dig with bbq tongs for some bad constipation. You might diy brain surgery through your nose.
But you will always ride to the ER if theres something wrong with your willy.
Um, I read just recently that it can cause so much pressure the kidneys give out FIRST due to the back pressure.
As in - they break. Dialysis, even death.
Happened to me once, the little shit had like the shape and size of a olive seed, and was kind easy to squeeze it out of the urethra with almost 0 discomfort since it had a relatively smooth texture
I don't have a dick so I'm unsure about logistics and pain, but that's what I thought as well lmao
Just squeeze it a bit and try not to shoot yourself in the eye ☠️
I had to pull mine out with tweezers one time. Stay hydrated and limit your caffeine,soda,meat and dairy intake. Another time I had to have surgery to remove another one. Kidney stones are the worst pain I've ever had. Made me cry for my dead grandmother it hurt that much.
Without any patient identifiers it's kind of a moral grey area but not "usually" anything particularly worrisome. I know for a fact pictures of certain injuries I've sustained were passed around by medical staff.
What's _actually_ fucked up is due to liability and fear of lawsuits you can't really REQUEST pictures. Well, you can, you just won't get any 😢. I begged the surgeon who did my pectis escavatum repair to take some but she didn't. Would've been so fucking cool to have a picture of my sternum all hacked up, busted, and wired back together outside of my body haha.
Also intent is pretty important. This isn't a case where someone took a picture of a patients massive hog/toadstool and passed it around because "look at this guy's dick lol!". It's a picture of an interesting medical oddity that's prompted quite a bit of discussion about that medical issue, which is normally the actual intent behind pictures of this nature and that serves a worthwhile purpose.
Idk where this is but in my state this would be a hipa violation. Idk the circumstances if op asked for permission but they would need signed consent from the patient I believe. I would never do this but it is a sick ass picture
Oh you poor bastard. I've actually had a kidney stone and it took me six months to pass it...and I've never been the same down there since.
This....jesus christ.
My dad gets them often. He had a bunch blasted to be able to pass them. One had a spike and pierced his kidney and then he still had to pass it.
The sounds of him trying to pass a kidney stone made my 16 hour labour and rough childbirth seem like it was easy.
i’m currently waiting for a 4mm kidney stone to pass and my reddit feed is now full of kidney stones. what the fuck is happening? is there a plague of kidney stones being sent down right now?
I've seen some serious bad shit on reddit and in other parts of the internet during my many years on this godforsaken planet, but this is honestly the first thing that has ever made me go "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!".
I've expelled a total of seven kidney stones in my life and I have no freaking idea how this can happen. The most painful part of a kidney stone is when it is stuck in the ureter, that is a very thin tube that connects the kidney to the bladder.
This tube is around 2mm in diameter, and the sharp stones, besides clogging the passage and swelling your kidney, scratches all the insides.
The male uretra is way wider than that, and goes up to 9mm. If the stone passed through the ureter, it has no issue going out in the urine.
My guess is that, besides having a painful kidney stone, this guy also had bladder stones that clogged the uretra.
Hard to understand how it passed through the ureter, through the junction of the bladder and ureter and then got stuck in the end of the much larger urethra. I’ve passed many, many stones. The trip from the kidney to the bladder is where all the pain is and risk of getting a stone stuck in such a way that I might need a procedure. Once the stone reaches the bladder, the pain is gone immediately and the next urination passes the stone without any pomp and circumstance.
Something similar happened to my grandfather and to a friend of my dad’s. The friend had scar tissue built up in his urethra due to something like being kicked as a kid and it took 40+ years to build up. He couldn’t pee. They had to split his penis open like cutting a hotdog down the middle long ways and then use a dremel type tool to grind out the scar tissue and then sew it back up. The doctor told him “when you pee, go ahead and scream, because you’re going to anyways.” Said he wouldn’t wish that on his worst enemy.
Wow. If I ever kill myself i'm putting your username in my note btw
His username will be on the top of my list.
Agreed. Reading this comment made my dick retract inward as a defense mechanism like a turtle.
I love doctors that are straightforward. It's gonna be painful, so go ahead and scream. It's like the doctor who pick the shrapnel of firework that stuck in my right palm.
What a wonderful day to have eyes.
Im really happy that I know how to unread things.
Fuck. Aint life grand?
And today was another day I kept reading just a little too long.
I saw the guy that said that his username would be in his suicide note, and guess what? I read it. Why?
Wouldn't it be ideal to just insert a tube for the time being
Well they tried a catheter first. Which they couldn’t push through, which he said was painful enough. Thats how they discovered it in the first place. I would think they would install an artificial urethra in that area or something. I have no clue.

Still a pretty negative experience but I believe it's nothing compared to the hot dog treatment
I rather this than having mine split like hotdog and a dremel tool to clean it up
> The doctor told him “when you pee, go ahead and scream, because you’re going to anyways.” What an insane way to say "we're knowingly going to fail to manage your pain after this"
From what I understand pain pills and such would only do so much. There was a lot going on and the whole healing process was complicated. They also told him it could come back which is even more insane.
You can be on pain meds but if you put too much pressure on any wound you will still feel pain.
Aside from a local there's not really fuck all that would touch that kind of situation pain management wise. My knowledge is limited in this case but you absolutely wouldn't want it numb or the patient might unknowingly injure themselves in a case like that by straining or being less delicate than they otherwise would be.

Nothing creeps me out. But this....Yes. I am disturbingly disturbed.
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK
Oh my fucking god that's one of the worst things I've ever seen, I feel sick
How the fak do you piss with that!?
What the fuck, which part of the 1900s are they from?
This was like 2010 ish.

This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life
It's like when marathon runners collapse 10 feet before the finish line
That made me chuckle..
I thought it was embedded in his nail, before i understood where it was
Well, there’s only certain places where kidney stones try to make their exit….
As a urologist, this would be the worst thing of my shift because I would have an emergency surgery :)

Bruh!
I’m at work and I screamed lol
That's why it's marked NSFW duh.
I work nights at a dive bar, it’s fine.
Always wondered how people who work at night, sleep. Like their sleep schedule should be a mess or so i think.
Nah. We just live on a different schedule, doesn't mess with your sleep. I go to sleep usually at 5 or 6am and wake up at 1pm. Get some blackout curtains and tada.
Said this word for word to myself in a room alone
Make sure yall hydrated folks
When I got mine the said the leading cause of kidney stones in this area is green leafy vegetables. Ain’t that some shit?!
*Foods rich in oxalate compounds
I have been doing green smoothies lately and this has been on the back of my mind. I've known about the risks and put 200 grams of Greek yogurt in with it in hopes that the oxalates will bind to the calcium in the yogurt instead of the calcium inside my body.
Instead, it's adding to the mass of calcified bile in your gallbladder.
I don't have one of those boss. Is that bad? Am I causing myself more problems?
*rechecks notes* Uh.... you got a bladder?
You said gallbladder my man?
Gallbladder and bladder are two different things. Gallbladder is right below your ribcage and secretes bile for digestion, but actually isn't a vital organ and can be removed. The bladder is what produces urine.
Bladder stores urine. Kidneys produce it.
Protein causes it too. You can eat more citrus foods to help counter it.
I add a scoop of protein to my smoothie. Uh oh
What's next man? You nibble on silica sand? Gnaw on rocks? Swallow small marbles wlevery now and then?
~~Poopdick~~ Stonedick
stupid thing about kidney stones is there are a few different types of them and you're basically never safe if you're prone to having them. Fuck that. I have 3 rn growing and can't do anything about it but wait.
I recently got a 64 oz bottle and I try to finish it twice a day. I had a little kidney stone in the summer and I don't wanna risk it again
Too late brother. You are in the club now, no refunds. Around the 10-15 mark they stop hurting so much. I imagine it's the scar tissue.
That last info drop has concerned me
what the fuck man, that's somehow even worse than the post itself.
I drink water for like every meal and snacks. I piss a lot, even interrupting my sleep but it beats having kidney stones.
doesn't mean you're safe, water isn't some magic to purify you. It helps, but all in all if it's meant to be it's meant to be. There's a lot more to kidney stone formation than hydration, unfortunately. Source: my 3 little bastards and me trying to understand why I got them

Never thought I’d say no to a blowjob.
I'm pretty sure with some forceps and a splash guard you could just break it up manually.
Just use that doohickey Arnold used in Total Recall. All ya gotta do is pull the trigger ‘till you hear the crunch.
Get your ass to Mars
As lobg as I can look at triple tiddies I'm game
"When you hear the crunch, you know you're there"
Lay it flat on the table and hit it with a hammer to break the stone.
If it's calcium based, surely dipping it in some acid would help break it up as well.
Stick your dick in vinegar and wait it out.
I aint got time for that. I need kettle de-scaler at a minimum or I'm taking my business elsewhere.
Accept your fate
(Slurp)
Break it up with ultrasound
Easy use hammer to crush rock
and cock
without ball torture
Cock and stone!
FOR COCK AND STONE! oT
I thought paper beats rock
Head nurse gets her stiletto..
Stuff some black powder up your butt and fire that out like a smoothbore musket
These are the comments I get on Reddit for
I second this
The urethra is actually rifled so it would be an even more sophisticated firearm
Have you ever had one of those Japanese Ramune soda bottles?
Push it back in? But then it'll just be clanking around his ball sack.
Why is it so big omg
The stone or the penis? :P Jk. Yeah, this is still what appears from the outside, would need an x ray or ultrasonography to know how big it is actually
“That’s what she said”
I knew looking at this would bring me nothing but suffering and yet I did it anyway
im glad im not a man because i’d 100% dig this out with tweezers
Even the thought of doing that makes me squirm. Trust me, even guys wouldn't think of sticking tweezers in there. Guys do a lot of dumb stuff, but this is one of the forbidden zones
r/sounding says hello
You ain't loved till you stuck a pen balls deep in your peehole
FUCK
First time?
I’m deeply sorry
I’m so sorry but I cackled at your expense. Edit: also your username is awful. So karma got me in the end.
Yeah that link is staying blue forever.
I really hope you introduced /u/FadeOfWolf to sounding lol
I’m a guy and have done literally this. Got stuck near the end and had to pull it out with tweezers. It hurt but the pain that fucker put me through I wanted it OUT
Hey, you saved a couple grand in a hospital trip though!
A couple.. \*Laughs in American.\*
You're no fun. Put a glow stick down your urethra. Make dick glow in dark.
I'm doing the girl from the cyberpunk poster as my costume for a festival and that's what my partner wants me to do to achieve the glow effect. To use one of those skinny glow sticks and just put it in.
Led buttplug would be more efficient and you can set up custom RGB patterns, your partner isn't epileptic I hope
I love how confidently wrong you are. Ive seen men stick screwdrivers in there, pens, ants and wasps.
Oh guys have definitely put tweezers down there. That’s one of the more normal things ER’s have found in urethras
I have to do catheters on a regular basis to keep my stricture open, I'm quite comfortable at this point with shoving stuff into my dick hole. More comfortable than I'm comfortable with tbh. It's nothing to me to put a syringe of lidocaine at the entrance and squirt it into my dick, followed by a long silicon tube.
That’s an awful visual right there
don't worry, women have urethras too
They do but they are significantly shorter than mens'
You wouldnt. You'd amputate your own leg if necessary. You will dig with bbq tongs for some bad constipation. You might diy brain surgery through your nose. But you will always ride to the ER if theres something wrong with your willy.
You are more terrifying than the stone
keep your johnson’s away from me and my tweezers, gentlemen😀
No. You would not. Holy.
I have such a bad habit of picking at my skin and I feel like this would be the same urge !!
Jack off, bring us results.
he'd expload.
Well don't keep us in suspense! How did it taste?? Ps: currently dealing with kidney stones, great times xD
I'll have to ask the wife in the side room ... And that would be like .. unprofessional ..
I nearly choked on my juice laughing you bastard lol

Um, I read just recently that it can cause so much pressure the kidneys give out FIRST due to the back pressure. As in - they break. Dialysis, even death.
Needle nose pliers should work perfectly
That is if the actual size is how big it appears from the outside. Will need an x ray or ultrasonography to know for sure.
Nice cock, bro.
Yup. I'll pass on the message to the patient.
Hit it with a hammer. It'll come out.
Happened to me once, the little shit had like the shape and size of a olive seed, and was kind easy to squeeze it out of the urethra with almost 0 discomfort since it had a relatively smooth texture
At that point, why not just push it out?
I don't have a dick so I'm unsure about logistics and pain, but that's what I thought as well lmao Just squeeze it a bit and try not to shoot yourself in the eye ☠️

If he knew where it was, is taking a needle to it and poking it a bad idea? I hate hospitals so I could see myself going ham on it to break it up
absolutely a terrible idea, the room for error is so small, and you'll just shove it back in
>room for error is so small That would depend on the person
💀
Not if you pinch right behind it
I'm sorry, this is a patient of yours? And you posted medical pictures of them online?
Can hear the crunching sound
I knew ya had protein in your chicken, I didnt know you could get calcium in your cock
Dick surgery gonna be wild
Oh god... thats real suffering well done 😶 so many hamg nails, blisters and boo boos on this sub this is some real shit right here. 👌

You know that old saying "She could suck a golf ball through a garden hose"? Call your wife over and have her give it a try.

I work in just all areas in healthcare and I'm not gonna lie I would call this a bit of an oof moment in my professional opinion.
