Doctors were forced to remove a 20-centimetre USB cable from a man’s penis after he rammed it in for sexual pleasure.

The unnamed man was allegedly drunk when he began pleasuring himself, but eventually sobered up and rushed himself to hospital with his mobile phone’s data cable still inside his manhood.

The patient from north-western China’s Shaanxi Province is said to have got drunk at home one day and began using the internet to research several different ways to pleasure himself .

The doctor who operated on him was quoted as saying: "He found a video online that taught him how to sexually stimulate himself with a charging cable, so he inserted one into his urethra.

"When the patient arrived he was in an incredible amount of pain."

Surgeons spent over an hour removing the white USB cable from his damaged urethra, cutting it into three sections and pulling it out.

He is now recovering in hospital, but doctor did not say whether the man will suffer from any long-term effects to his organ.

A video of the surgeon also appeared to show that he had kept the USB cable in a tin in his office as a sort of souvenir, preserving it in disinfectant liquid after cleaning it of the man’s blood.

The patient told medics that he was very embarrassed and also "regretful".

Last week, a man was rushed to hospital by his mum after 'strangling' his penis with a wedding ring.

The unnamed 28-year-old reportedly decided to try the metal on his genitals for "erotic reasons" - but he soon found that the embarrassment and pain wasn't worth it.

He was quickly rushed to hospital by his mum and reportedly had to have blood drained from his genitals after getting the small ring stuck.
