Beijing: In a bizarre incident reported from China, a 13-year-old guy inserted a USB cord in his penis. As per the report in Heilongjiang Metropolis Channel, an unidentified 13-year-old boy cut off a USB head and inserted the four-inch-long cable into his penis. The cable somehow entered the boy's bladder and became tangled.

The boy was then taken to a hospital in Heilongjiang province but was transferred to Harbin Children's Hospital for better treatment. The doctors tried removing the cable using lubricant but were unsuccessful after which they resorted to surgery.

This is not the first time that medical help has been sought for bizarre incidents such as this. In 2013, a 70-year-old Australian man inserted a four inches long fork into his urethra, which, later was removed by doctors by using forceps and lubrication. This case also found mention in the International Journal of Surgery Case Report were the doctors who had conducted the surgery discussed the case and challenges they faced while carrying out the operation on the man’s private parts.

In a similar way, a man in China inserted a chopstick into his penis in 2016 because he thought his urethra was broken, reported Fox News. The man also required surgery to get the object removed.

Last year, a 35-year-old in China was admitted to hospital after he complained of pain in his genitalia. The doctors performed an x-ray and were horrified when they came to know that the man had 15 sewing needles into his penis. On being asked the man said he got satisfaction by inserting needles into his private parts and added that he had been doing this since 2016.
