Hi once in a while I have trouble with urine leaking out while I am working on my computer or sitting on my bed. I have not visited a doctor regarding this as it does not always happen. However I usually put paper towel in the urethra to stop it up. It eventually goes away and it s usually right after I use the restroom. Last night, I put a small piece of paper towel inthere again and it apparently went in too deep and got Lost . I seem to be able to use the restroom fine, but today, I feel kind of sick?/weak and I didn t sleep well last night. Is there a danger of infection if it stays in there? Will it eventually dissolve? There is no immediate pain and I can pee just fine but I am worried about the fact that is still in my penis. I have tried to find it with a womans hair bobby pin but I have yet to locate it. I can t see how it could have gone in so deep, but What should I do? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Please do not try such things. It is very hazardous. Yes a foreign body in the urethra may cause infection. If you have some problem you should consult your doctor. Putting foreign objects or a pin will result in further worsening of problem. There is a definite danger of infection if a foreign body stays in the urethra. Please get yourself examined by your doctor. He may order further investigations like urine examination and urine culture and sensitivity. Continue to ask further queries as required. Hope this helps. Take care. Chat Doctor.
