Can Septicemia kill you?

i recently tore my pee-hole just a little bit and i was worried that urination would cause me to get sick. i have found that this is so. can septicemia kill you?

thank you guys i was so frightened. i checked it like every hour at school yesterday and today. it was a very small tear. its only about 1/5 a centimeter. noticed that my urethra wasyellowish pink and that the tear was becoming to look normal. thanks for your answers you have really helped me. i just wanted to make sure that I didnt die.

Yes, in short. Septicemia can be deadly. Strep, Staph and Listeria are just a few bacteria than can result in septicemia.

HOWEVER, what you describe is not likely to cause septicemia. For one thing, urine while it is leaving your body is sterile. There should be no bacteria in your urine unless you have some localized infection in your urethra (like NGU, gonorrhea, chlamydia or a basic UTI). Without bacteria, you can't get septicemia.

Secondly, epithelial tissue heals fairly quickly. Epithelial tissue makes up the lining of your urethra. It's not instant, but it will start healing right away after you injure it. So make sure you maintain proper hygiene in general (clean under your foreskin if you have one, take regular showers, and yes, pee regularly) so the actual tear doesn't get infected.

Septicemia can definitely kill you, but urine rarely causes any type of infection. Unless you have a bladder infection, urine is generally sterile.

Septicemia is very dangerous and deadly. It doesn't look like you have it or have a good chance of getting it though.
