Abstract
We report the case of a 17-year-old boy who developed acute urinary re tention following unprotected intercourse. His partner employed for th e first time a nonoxynol-9-based commercial vaginal contraceptive inse rt. During intercourse the patient felt severe burning pain in the ure thra. He was subsequently unable to void. Flexible cystourethroscopy r evealed gross mucosal erythema and inflammation in the distal urethra and navicular fossa. We discuss the clinical management and review rel evant literature.
