I was telling my female neighbor about this process and she was astounded that a camera could fit up a man's urethra. We talked about modern medicine and then she said, "Do they use a Digital Single Lens Reflex 35mm camera or smartphone when taking the pictures inside your urethra?" I told her, on me, they used a 35mm Single-Lens Reflex camera with a 200 mm lens!
