Swab irritation

Hi after doing a home test which involved sticking a swab 2cm into the urethra and swirling it about for 20’seconds is it normal to have some slight irritation or discomfort a few days afterwards?

you need to work with your doctor on anxiety, the disorder that is overtaking your life. In everyone of your previous posts, you were told no risk. You decided to take a needless test. Now worried about the test. You used a swab and it irritated you. Man, this is every day stuff. You get anxious about anything related to your penis. Yes normal and No, not a big deal. Talk to your doctor about anxiety though as it is going to keep coming back bothering you like this.
