Why doesn’t it hurt to pee?

I’ve heard that when someone gets something done (medically) to their urethra, it hurts really bad. What I mean by that is when doctors have to put a camera up the urethra. If that’s the case, then how does peeing not hurt like hell, I mean, there’s fluid coming out really fast and there’s pressure there so? It might be a simple answer but I’m pretty dumb and have been wondering this for a while.

Edit: Yes I’m aware that this was a dumb question. As I mentioned to one guy who commented, I didn’t think this question through thoroughly as I got back from work before posting this and was exhausted (I still am honestly). If you don’t have an answer or anything nice to say, don’t say it, kindergarten shit people. Thank you.

Like you’re five? Solids scrape, liquid flows, and at reasonable speeds doesn’t hurt.

Like you’re >5: the liquid doesn’t all push through along the sides it probably expands the vessel with pressure and the flow isn’t really touching the wall. Think of blowing up a balloon animal balloon, the long thin ones.
