Guwahati, June 6:
Doctors removed a mobile charging cable from a 30-year-old man’s urinary bladder through surgery in Assam’s Guwahati.
Dr Walliul Islam, a consultant surgeon at a private hospital in Guwahati, conducted the surgery on the 30-year-old man recently and removed a mobile charging cable from his urinary bladder, despite the man misleading the doctor into operating his stomach.
Dr Walliul Islam said that the man came to him a few days ago and complained of stomach ache, saying that he had consumed a headphone cable by mistake.
Doctors initially performed an endoscopy by examining his stool but did not find any cable in his stomach.
Dr Walliul Islam then decided to take an X-ray while the 30-year-old man was sleeping on the operation table and was shocked to see a mobile charging cable in his urinary bladder.
Dr Walliul Islam said that he has never been so surprised and shocked in his entire 25-year-long career.
According to the doctor, the man inserted the cable through his penile urethra during a masturbation process.
The patient was said to be in the habit of inserting objects through his penis to have sexual pleasure. Dr Islam said the act is called urethral masturbation. It involves the insertion of an object into the urethra.
The patient also has a history of accidental ingestion of headphones, Dr Islam said.
Dr Islam said he continues to be surprised and shocked by instances like these where my intellectual and surgical skills are challenged.
“A 30-year-old man came to me with complaints of pain in the abdomen and history of accidental ingestion of headphones. I operated him to find nothing in his gastrointestinal tract, instead, discovered a mobile charging cord in his urinary bladder. All of you must have guessed the entry point and route. His mental health remains a question. Surgery was successful and the patient is recovering. Everything is possible on this earth, indeed,” Dr Walliul Islam said.
