'''Princess Albertina''' is a female [[genital]] [[body piercing]], where a ring enters the [[urethra]] and exits through the top of the [[vagina]]. This is a relatively rare piercing, as placement is difficult and the potential for [[urinary tract infection]]s may be increased by this piercing. This piercing requires the bearer to have a large enough urethra for it to be viable. This piercing can be extremely sexually stimulating, as its presence stimulates the nerves of the urethra during [[sexual intercourse|intercourse]] or [[masturbation|masturbatory]] activities.{{Fact|date=March 2008}}
Like many genital piercings,{{Fact|date=March 2008}} this piercing heals quickly, if properly taken care of.{{Fact|date=March 2008}} It is an advanced piercing and many piercers may not be willing or able to perform it.
==Health issues==
As noted above, the primary concern with this piercing is that it can lead to an increase in urinary tract infections. While many male genital piercings are transurethral, the longer length of the male urethra reduces the risk of urinary tract infection due to transurethral piercings. In addition, the [[urethral sounding]] play often used to enlarge the urethra can be dangerous if done improperly. The presence of this piercing can alter or divert the flow of [[urine]] from the body and may require extra attention during and after urination
==History and culture==
The Princess Albertina piercing is of completely contemporary origin, and is an extremely rare piercing.{{Fact|date=March 2008}} Its name comes from the fact that it is [[analogy|analogous]] to the male [[Prince Albert piercing]].
