Capturing a retrograde ejaculation on film is a rite of passage for many medical videographers. The urethra is plugged up by the camera leaving nowhere for ejaculate to go but into the bladder. The prostate is stimulated until orgasm. Once the filming is complete, the subject should be given a light snack and released back into the wild.

"Hmm, yes, your pee is indeed stored in your balls."

Also, why does the tip of the penis look like the mouth of a Graboid from Tremors?

TIL. Seems to be a rigid scope, so:

Rigid cystoscope: These cystoscopes don’t bend. Your provider may pass instruments through the tube to perform biopsies or remove tumors. This cystoscope is usually only used with sedation or general anesthesia.

Doesn't explain the other hand though.

[–] C8r9VwDUTeY3ZufQRYvq@sopuli.xyz 16 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

No, it doesn't. The surgeons I work with don't do prostate manipulation when they insert the scopes, but my guess is that it's a way to straighten out the urethra to assist with scope insertion in awake or lightly sedated patients (with local anaesthesia).

Update: I ran into an actual urologist in the change room and showed him the diagram. He said the only time he would apply pressure like that is to improve the position of the prostate during a prostate resection, but not just to do a cystoscopy. I asked if this was more common during direct vision cystoscopy (using your eye to see down the scope rather than a camera unit as we do now), and he said he didn't think so but wasn't sure. This guy is not that far off retirement, so he's been around long enough to remember a lot of advances in technique and technology. I think this diagram belongs in a museum.

When you say “straighten out the urethra”, is that professional medical-speak for “fingerblast his p spot to get him hard”?

[–] C8r9VwDUTeY3ZufQRYvq@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I assume you were making a joke, but just in case you weren't, it is not.

[–] felsiq@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It was at least half joking, but I am genuinely curious how the finger in his ass would straighten the urethra. Is it the internal part of the urethra that needs straightening, and if so, can you really just push it around from the anus like that?

[–] C8r9VwDUTeY3ZufQRYvq@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago

The part of the urethra that passes through the prostate is usually bent. As I said, I'm only guessing, but I think by angling the penis down and pushing the prostate forward from behind, it should make it less of a sharp angle for the scope to pass through, therefore reducing pain and risk of urethral injury.

While the penis arquebus was revolutionary for its time, the relatively small size of the kidney stone projectiles and lack of forceful propulsion made it effective against only the closest of opponents.

Yup, that's 6" alright. Well, I check it again in a year. If I can't see you pee, then it's more than 6".
