“…Aliabadi et al [4] reported 18 patients, citing self-instrumentation of foreign bodies in the urethra with autoeroticism in six (33 %), overt psychiatric illness in two (11 %), as an aid to voiding in seven (39 %) patients as the possible etiology of urethral foreign bodies, while no definite reason could be ascertained in three (17 %).…”

“…In cases of self-inserted foreign bodies, the etiology includes psychological problems, autoerotism [4], iatrogenic, self-insertion of foreign bodies in the urethra and polyembolokoilamania (broad group of disorders characterized by self-insertion of objects into body orifices). The presentation of such patients is usually delayed with most presenting with hematuria, dysuria, urinary frequency, strangury, and urinary retention [3,5].…”

This study aims to present the challenges faced in the management of multiple impacted foreign bodies, needles, and screws from the penile and bulbar urethra. A young man presented with complaint of a hard perineal swelling and passage of metallic nails per urethra. Pelvic radiograph revealed multiple foreign bodies (nails) in the penile and bulbar urethra. Successful cystoscopic removal of 11 foreign bodies comprising four large metallic screws and seven nail-like large sewing needles was done in two sessions. The most prevalent motivation for self-insertion of urethral foreign bodies is autoerotism/psychological impairment. Appropriate surgical technique guided by physical examination/ imaging with endoscopic removal is often successful, depending on the object's physical attributes and morphology while minimizing urothelial trauma and preserving voiding and erectile function. Follow-up cystourethroscopy is important for diagnosing any complications and urothelial injuries.

“…4 Particularly in men, the lengthy journey of a foreign body through the urethra and its passage through the curve of the bulbous urethra without causing significant injuries is surprising and still not sufficiently explained. 5 The most suitable method for removing such a foreign body depends on its size and mobility. When possible, endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques of removal should be used.…”

Foreign body in the urethra is a rare condition, which is caused by the placement of a foreign object in the person's own urethra, with different causes, and requires immediate intervention. We present a 16-year-old male case of self-insertion of a pencil into the urethra migrating into the bladder. The pencil was in prostatic urethra and pulled by holding it with forceps endoscopically. Open surgery is usually required for the foreign body in the urethra and bladder. In the appropriate patients, the foreign body can be removed with endoscopic management.
