Major problem with stuck tetherspout

Hi guys, so I'm wondering if I can get your opinions on this. I have been in chastity for a couple weeks using a tetherspout. It was a bitch to install because I can't fit the retainer inside my urethra, it's just so much bigger than the insert, but eventually I figured out how to install it by pushing the main insert down along with the hoop and assembling them inside my urethra.

This is how it is supposed to be installed (I hope this image link works)

I have accomplished the final step in that diagram, albeit without using the retainer to guide the installation. As you can see the way it is suppose to work is the flared inside ring rests against the narrow section of the urethra like an anchor. To remove it you're supposed to force that narrow spot to stretch open using the retainer, making it big enough for the anchor of the tether to slip out.

Anyway now this experiment is over, and I'm a little tired of the constant soreness in my urethra, I'm ready to remove it. But the problem is, not only is the retainer still far too big to get in, but I can't push the insert back down in order to disassemble it the same way I assembled it. It seems to have sort of fused itself to that narrow area in my urethra.

My suspicion is mineral deposits in my urine or perhaps some sort of rust (it supposed to be stainless) has built up around the ring like a layer of cement. Imagine a screw pushed through a hole, and then welded in place at the head of the screw.

Basically, I can't push it down, I can't pull it out, and even though I am willing to try to brute force the retainer inside the urethra, I find myself experiencing excruciating pain when I try, as if something is being pinched. I think whatever deposits have hardened the internal anchor section of the tether are holding it so securely that it's literally pinching and crushing some of the surface of my urethra against the retainer as it attempts to move down.

I'm in kind of a mess here. I intend to visit a urologist if I can't get this sorted out soon. I'm open to advice.

I strongly do not recommend using a tetherspout. They do work as budget PA alternatives, but they hurt like hell when you're hard, they function by constantly tugging on that delicate narrow spot which hurts, they are fiddly to install, urination hurts, and apparently this can happen.

 

Welp I spoke to my doctor he is very concerned, so now I'm off to A&E with an embarrassing referral. Lucky I have a high tolerance for humiliation. I imagine the next couple hours will be painful.

My current working theory is that the flared end of the spout is lodged INSIDE the narrow sphincter just inside the head of the penis that is supposed to be the wall this thing anchors itself through. The same biological design that is supposed to prevent it from getting out is now preventing it from getting in as well. Assuming I'm right.

Either way it's looking like minor surgery is in my future. Learn from my example, kiddies. Tether spouts are not worth it.

 

So was I. I did research before using it and haven't heard anyone else having this issue, but now that we know it can happen, I think we should all give them a wide berth. This really sucks. I just hope they don't end up having to sever the sphincter to get it out because that ring will never heal with the same taughtness, and I feel like that will play a role in keeping a PA piercing stable and prevent it from migrating. I should have just got a damn PA in the first place but unironically I was scared it would hurt too much. Fml.

 

Ever had 4 shots of lidocaine in your dick? Do not recommend. Even with that and numbing lube (which is ironically painful as shit when first applied) I barely got through it with my sanity intact. Rough day. Don't use tether spouts, guys. It's not worth it. Thank you all for your support and suggestions. Now I'm just gonna heal up and get a damn PA at some point lol.
