Question
While urinating in a public restroom I became frightened and suddenly halted the flow of urine midstream, as a result, I felt a sharp pain below my scrotum/in the area between my scrotum and sphincter. After the pain subsided, I resumed urinating without any problem. Can suddenly stopping urine flow cause pain?
Answer
Sure can cause pain but won't cause any harm. The pain is just a muscle spasm.
