camera down the uretha
by ny2125, May 14, 2007 12:00AM
a friend said he has to have a camera inserted into his penis (i guess like a catheter) to check on his prostrate and other issues he is having. do they give you something or use something to ease the pain of this procedure (or a catheter)? surely it has got to hurt! anyone have this done to body or similar before?
