Is it painful to urinate? Is there any blood in your urine? Are you having difficulty urinating? If any of these are true, the you should be checked by a doctor to be certain the injury is not serious. If none of these are true, it is likely a minor injury that will heal on its own. If it begins to swell, you should see a doctor. No need to be embarrassed-a urologist may be needed. Good luck!

If you have blood, burning in urine , fever pl see a Urologist 0r go to the urgent/emergency center. If not- drink plenty of water and the injury will gradually heal. Inserting objects in ANY body cavity is wrong and hazardous pl. refrain from it in the future. Good luck
