Cystoscopic extraction of a wired earphone from male urinary bladder

A foreign body in the urinary bladder is an uncommon urological emergency, resulting from scenarios such as iatrogenic injuries, self-insertion for pleasure, sexual abuse, assault, and migration from the adjacent sites. Self-inserted urinary bladder foreign bodies for sexual enjoyment pose a substantial issue for clinicians due to their difficulty in the diagnosis and therapy. Most patients were admitted late owing to embarrassment, resulting in severe short-and long-term consequences. This case study describes the intriguing presentation of a 57-year-old male who came to the surgery outpatient department 17 days after experiencing burning when urinating along with blood and dysuria. Wire-like radiodensities in the soft tissues of the pelvis were seen on an X-ray; their morphology was described as that of an earphone wire. The wired earphone foreign body was removed using a cystoscopy procedure. The patient’s hospital stay was minimal, and he was discharged with antibiotics and analgesics.
