A man has been forced to undergo surgery after getting a pair of seven-inch chopstick stuck in his penis.

The man was too shy to go to a doctor about blood is urine and disastrously took matters into his own hands by using the implements in a bid to identify the problem.

The man inserted the chopsticks into his urethra but stuck them so far in he could not remove them.

Doctors successfully removed the chopsticks after he took himself to hospital with the embarrassing problem, Asia Wire reported.

Doctors in Hagzhou City’s Uhang District, China, said the man could have been killed in the chopsticks had been pushed any further.

The man, identified only as Chen, is said to have told doctors he thought there may be a tear in his urethra and was trying to investigate.
