'''Sounds''' are smooth medical instruments designed to enlarge the urethra. In a non-medical setting they are used both for urethral stretching, and (more commonly) for highly pleasurable stimulation. It's nothing like a urethral swab.
It should be noted that due to the shortened urethra, men will be far more prone to bladder infections. This is doubly true because of the new proximity to the anus (cleanliness is essential). In addition, complications from the procedure including [[Urethral stricture|urethral stricture]] are not uncommon. Finally, contrary to popular belief, having a urethral reroute does not bypass the [[Urethral sphincter|urethral sphincter]], it just shortens the urethra. If proper hygiene is used, there should not be any types of complications.


Sounds need to be cleaned. They can pass disease from user to user if they are being shared. Even if they are not being shared, they can easily lead to bladder infections if not properly cleaned. Ideally, an autoclave should be used, but alternate cleaning includes 10% bleach solutions and pressure cookers.

Urethral sounds come in a variety of styles, and are used in slightly different ways:
| align="center"| [[File:Urethral_Reroute-3.jpg|150px|thumb|Urethral Reroute]]
* '''Dittel sounds''' have a flat end and a rounded end.
| align="center"| [[File:Urethral_Reroute-4.jpg|150px|thumb|Urethral Reroute]]
* '''Hegar sounds''' have two rounded ends, are fairly short, and are mildly curved in shape. Hegar sounds are typically the least expensive sounds on the market, and a number of companies online (including [[BMEshop]]) sell them in full sets of eight for as little as $40 - $60. These sets usually consist of slightly curved double-ended sounds starting at small sizes suitable for beginners, right up to absolutely monstrous thumb-sized sounds, for those more experienced people. These sounds are the most safe and comfortable for the female anatomy.

* '''Henk sounds''' have a more pronounced curve at the ends, as well as a metal rib on each end.
* '''Pratt sounds''' are longer urethral dilators (double ended ones are usually almost a foot long) with rounded and slightly bent ends. Many men enjoy them for sounding.
* '''Van Buren sounds''' have a very pronounced curve at each end, specifically for the purpose of reaching the [[Bladder]].

The male urethra travels from the bladder through the prostate and length of the penis. It is relatively close to the surface all the way from the tip of the penis to between the scrotum and the anus. If a sound is inserted into the urethra and pressure is exerted, it is easy to see the skin tent up along that portion of the urethra. The major difference after that is in how the reroute is done. Many, including those who are DIY types, pierce through the urethra, creating a small hole to pee through. Others of us who have avoided the DIY mode, preferring instead to have some who knows their anatomy and what they are doing, cut and stitch. Even though it is a relatively simple procedure, the success level for those who have tried DIY, piercing a hole through and hoping it would work, is poor. Those who have gone through the surgical procedure, which can be done as an out-patient in about an hour, have had more success.

It should be noted that due to the shortened urethra, men will be far more prone to bladder infections. This is doubly true because of the new proximity to the anus (cleanliness is essential). In addition, complications from the procedure including urethral stricture are not uncommon. Finally, contrary to popular belief, having a urethral reroute does not bypass the urethral sphincter, it just shortens the urethra. If proper hygiene is used, there should not be any types of complications.
