Digital Desk: A teenager got a USB cable stuck inside his penis while attempting to measure the interior of his genital that physicians had to surgically remove it.
In an unusual type of "sexual experimentation," the 15-year-old British boy was trying to measure the interior of his private parts when the cable tangled itself and he was unable to remove it.
With the knots and tangles formed in the cable, the boy began to experience blood in his urine, after which his mother rushed him to the doctor.
He admitted to the physicians that he had purposefully inserted the cable rather than using a ruler after his mother had left the room.
Doctors wrote in the Science Direct report, "The two distal ports of the USB wire were found to be protruding from the external urethral meatus whilst the middle part of the knotted wire remained within the urethra. The patient was an otherwise fit and healthy adolescent with no history of mental health disorders."
Reportedly, the number of knots made it impossible for doctors to cut the cable with a metal rod, so they had to conduct an operation.
An insertion was made between his genitals and anus to allow access to the trapped cable, with catheters fitted.
"Both ends of the wire were pulled out successfully through the external urethral meatus," the medics said.
The boy made a full recovery and was released. A week later, the catheters were removed. He is being monitored for long-term damage.
The case study warns that putting foreign objects into the urethra can induce urination pain, blood in the pee, painful erections, and urine retention.
