TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - An unusually long electric wire in a urethra and bladder JO - International journal of adolescent medicine and health A1 - Gupta, Sandeep A1 - Jain, Pritesh A1 - Pal, Dilip Kumar A1 - Banerjee, Manju SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Foreign bodies in the urethra and bladder are mostly due to self-insertion, iatrogenic insertion, migration from surrounding organs or through penetrating injuries. Self-insertion of a foreign body through the urethra is mostly related to sexual gratification, psychiatric conditions or to get relief from the intractable voiding symptoms. We present a case of a 17-year-old male who self-introduced an extremely long 120 cm electrical wire into his bladder for sexual gratification. The wire was removed by supra-pubic cystotomy to avoid urethral injuries.
