Abstract

Several self-inserted foreign bodies have been reported in the lower genitourinary system. We report a 27-year-old man with suprapubic severe pain, purulent discharge from the urethra, and dribbling. He had a history of psychotic disorders and inserting an ink chamber of a pen into the urethra. Imaging showed hydronephrosis and a large urinary stone in the bladder with no sign of foreign body. During open cystotomy, we found that bladder stone was attached to a plastic tube that was extended into the patient's urethra. In such cases, timely surgery to prevent urinary retention and psychological support are required. © 2023 The Authors
