It hurts. It was part of the exam that I had. I was so tense that the catheter could not get a urine sample from me, even though I had had to urinate for an hour before the exam. The catheter would have gotten a more precise reading for what the problem might be, but it was too painful and my bladder was too defensive.
I am getting capable medical care. However, I haven't needed the stress of being persecuted by the conglomerate for my gender for the last two months that I have had as-yet undiagnosed pain; not that I have ever needed that stress or that the way that the conglomerate has treated me and the conglomerate's assault on the social status and legal rights of women since 2010 were ever appropriate, because they weren't.
