A member asked:
I went swimming the other day and the swim shorts i was wearing were too tight and now i have a lot of pain around my uretha?

Maybe, maybe not: It might be possible that repeated rubbing of fabric against the urethra could cause pain. But this would be unusual. Assuming you are sexually active, you'll need to be concerned about herpes, if the sore area develops blisters or ulcers; or if you also develop discharge. Even with neither of these, see a doctor if pain doesn't clear up within 1-2 days.
