Urethral insert?

[She decides]

Well, just yesterday I was on here bragging about how great a urethral insert is. This morning I woke up with a burning-must urinate feeling, it hurt. I got ready for work and left. The pain and must urinate feeling had gotten so bad by 11:30 that I had to call the doc and make an appointment. After that I started to feel nauseous with body aches. I left work early and headed home. My wife gave me a key this morning in case things got worse. I removed the CD before 9:00.

My wife insisted on going to the appointment and was prepared to tell the doc how it happened. He explained that it's kind of rare in men, more commen in women as my wife was agreeing. He explained that because I'm feeling sick and achy, the infection is in my blood. He told my wife to watch me closely as a blood infection can be dangerous and kill. He didn't ask any questions on how I may have gotten the infection.

The pain, burning, and constant need to pee feeling is really bad. I don't ever want to go thru this again, and my days of putting things in my penis is OVER.

When I feel better I'll be in my HT-2 while I send my Looker01 back to Germany for removal of the insert.

The wife will be back from the pharmacy soon with my antibiotic.

I've considered a urethral insert to accompany my next one but do have a concern about infection or issues caused by the urethra being basically held open and allowing things to get in through the open tube. Is there a cap of some sort to stop this from happening?

I did order a small screw to close the opening at the end. I take this out to pee and put it back right afterwards, so basically it's locked all the time.

Most important I hope you'll get well very soon. As thumper said in his blog (http://denyingthumper.com/2012/09/26/risk/), many interesting things probably can't be had without taking a risk - but of course it's a personal decision what risk seems to be acceptable (for example: when bicycling I always wear a helmet). Having an UTI is definately not funny...

Normally any bacteria shouldn't be able to get into the bladder through the plug as it doesn't go in that far (or even close). But taking out and putting in frequently will raise the chance for an infection.

IF someone want's to wear a plug inside his uretha he probably should:
- not take it out on a daily basis
- use antiseptic stuff to keep it safe
- seal the opening with a screw at all times possible
- drink/pee regulary to flush anything out that might still get into the uretha

Is it possible that something else caused it?

I'm also a bit confused at the symptoms and what the 'doctor' said. I had a severe UTI which very nearly did kill me (several years ago). I was told that it was a result of becoming too dehydrated. I did become physically ill, and I also started pissing blood. But my doc didn't say that the danger was from the infection being "in the blood", rather, the danger was from the infection progressing from the urinary tract to the bladder and thence to the kidneys, where the kidney function would be compromised. I'm wondering whose doc is FOS, yours or mine.

"Most important I hope you'll get well very soon."

Thank you, I'm feeling much better today. Yesterday and the day before were downright miserable.

"Is it possible that something else caused it?"

I don't know what caused it. I have locked it in there many times, for days and days at a time without ever a problem. I locked on Sunday and had beginning symptoms on Wednesday evening. What ever was the exact cause, it's surely my fault. I think it could be one or all of several causes.
- I roll TP between my fingers into a paper spike and insert it up the tube to dry the urine, my finger tips may not have been clean enough.
- After I urinate there is always urine trapped between the cage bars and my skin. No matter how much you try to dry it, you wont get it all. The exposed urine will turn into a bacteria factory.
- My wife vibrated my cage with a vibrator that may not have been clean, fluids were present and can flow around.
- I haven't been using the plug screw. It seems a bit useless in my situation as there is clearance between my inside and the insert outside.
I drink a lot, and urinate often. I was thinking that bad stuff would be rinsed away often.

"I'm wondering whose doc is FOS, yours or mine."

Neither. I think my doc was hinting at septic shock. I'm no doc, but the consequences and progression of septic shock are likely different than than the consequences and progression of dehydration.

As I wrote that it's my own fault, and I think that it's probably preventable, In my own individual situation the rewards of a urethral insert do not outweigh the risks. I even have thoughts of bailing on chastity all together. I'm not comfortable with the thought of the urine bacteria growing around the tip of my penis all day long after I go.

I certainly hope you get well soon.

Regarding urine being trapped between cage and skin: This has nothing to do with the urethal insert - it's the same whatever CD you're locked in. So keeping it clean is the same challenge with all chastity devices.

After urinating I use toilet paper to get it as dry as possible (I don't care about the plug inside though - I just use the screw). I had a problem with itching/burning skin some weeks ago. Now I always dry the area after washing with a hair dryer and add a regulary treatment with an antispectic spray so that bacteria won't get a chance to develop at the tip.

I do think the plug screw is relevant, because the inside of the plug is the main difference between a normal cage and one with a plug. So I use the screw at all time.

In my own individual situation the rewards of a urethral insert do not outweigh the risks.

Yeah, if I once had an UTI I may probably think different too. I'll keep my fingers crossed...

Yesterday my wife was not feeling well, she had to pee frequently and it hurt a lot. As I just read in a post by "She decides" with his experiences being quite similar, I urged her to go to the doctor at once. First she hesitated, but as the doctor found out that she really got an UTI we were both glad that she went there right away. I've learned that she's tougher than I thought!

Just a few hours later I had a small accident. Letting myself fall unto the sofa it happened that cage and plug were pointing upwards being not in line with the "natural" path of my uretha. When I hit the surface of the sofa, the plug poked into my uretha and that hurt a lot. I still got some pain, but throughout the day it got better.

So yes - wearing the urtheal insert may have some disadvantages, but compared to the benefits I personally still think it's worth the trouble.

Warning about cleaning inserts really well.

I started using a cage with urethral insert about a year ago. It feels great, being locked internally and externally, really pushes my submissive buttons.

After about a month, I suddenly was stricken with what turned out to be a blood infection that originated in the bladder...from a badly cleaned insert. Fortunately, the emergency room doctor recognized my sepsis condition and began treating it before any damage was done to my heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. I was in the ER and hospital for five days. It could have killed me; 40% of patients with the sepsis do not survive.

I give thanks daily for that doctor, and I'm sworn off any more urethral inserts.
