Trauma to the urethra is not common, however, you need to be aware that it can cause significant problems. Injury can cause leakage of urine into surrounding tissues and result in swelling, inflammation, infection and abdominal pain. Urethral trauma can also cause the inability to urinate, retention of urine in the bladder and blood in the urine.
If you begin to experience pain then you should seek medical attention. Otherwise you will need to wait this out as your body heals from the trauma that it has experienced, and consider the need to prevent this from happening again.
