Brief Answer: Inflammation of urethra Detailed Answer: Dear sir Welcome to healthcare magic Tac gel is a conductive adhesive gel, which is used to do tests like ECG, TENS, EMG... When it travels through urethra, it causes inflammation of urethra, but it might not be serious unless there is secondary infection by bacterias.. since your age is 65 years and bacterial colonials become active.. So see for the signs of infections such as fever, chills and pain and burning sensation during urination.. Dont worry it will be self limited as you dont have any immunomodulatory conditions like diabetes. So drink lot of water... Since you have irritation, folow the following instructions 1. Stop using scented soaps 2. Avoid bike rides doe long time 3. Select and use antiinflammatory and analgesic drugs, it is advised to take a course of antibiotics after consulting your doctor.. Hope this information is helpful Thanks

But please consult your doctor once before taking ciprofloxacin. Thanks
