    They shoved a camera down my urethra once because I was having issues that eventually went away on their own. But holy shit that was the worst pain ive felt. The doctor told me before he said "its ok to scream a little but try not to move" i was thinkin "wtf im not gonna scream I have self control!" Then that huge fucking camera went into my urethra and I screamed like bloody hell! It sonded like a saw movie.

      I had something like that once. Did you later have air escaping your pee hole (like farting out your dick) & serious pain when urinating?

          Like pissing red hot razor blades. After I urinated for the first time I kept trying to hold it in for as long as I could because I REALLY didn't want to go.

            What about when the camera passedinto the urethra? To me that was 100x worse than pissing after.

              I was pretty drugged up by then. The last thing I remember about that was helping them guide a surgical tube up my wanger and thinking "I can't believe something so wide can fit in such a small hole. That was many, many years ago. I was about 12 . They needed to look around into my bladder with some sort of scope & they also widened part of my urethra at the same time. So I don't really remember the procedure, just the pain afterward.

      Seems pretty unpleasant. Although they all do.

      But the only way to determine the presence of cancer is with a biopsy.

        No it isn't. Besides, multiple biopsies are contraindicated for any cancer investigation, especially the prostate. So if the first biopsy is clear or questionable, a second one should not be performed and definitely not a third. Cancer can be detected by MRI, CT scans, blood analyses and, in the case of a prostate, special urine testing. so if someone is telling you differently, they are just looking for a big paycheck.

          If you have a source for your information I would appreciate it.

          According to American Cancer Society-
          "The actual diagnosis of prostate cancer can only be made with a prostate biopsy"

            How about my urologist. A biopsy is the best method, but multiple biopsies are only indicated if the wrong area was tested. Multiple biopsies can actually spread the cancer to other areas or cause sepsis.
            An MRI is the better option especially if you already had a needle biopsy.

            Me, I'll take the MRI over pissing out blood and blood clots for over a week or more anyday. Already did that twice.

              Thanks for the info. I do appreciate it. I'm not a fan of spring loaded needles anywhere near my most sensitive parts.
