Foreign objects in the urethra are rare, often linked to self-harm for sexual pleasure. This case details endoscopic removal of a bullet-shaped object, with no immediate complications.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Sexual Health

Background:

  • Foreign body insertion into the urethra is uncommon.
  • Such incidents are frequently associated with self-mutilating behaviors, often in a sexual context.

Observation:

  • A case report details a patient inserting a 4 cm bullet-shaped metal object into the urethra for sexual gratification.
  • Cystoscopy confirmed the object was lodged deep within the urethra, causing urethral mucosa penetration.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic removal of the foreign object was successfully performed.
  • The patient experienced no immediate adverse effects or sequelae post-procedure.

Implications:

  • While this case resolved without complications, potential risks include infection, urethral stricture, and fistula formation.
