Abstract
Different types of foreign body have been found in the urinary bladder. Most of these are self-inserted via urethra. The motives for such insertions are difficult to understand. Usually these foreign bodies were inserted as a result of exotic impulses, psychiatric problems, sexual curiosity or sexual perversion. The treatment of foreign bodies is determined by their size, location and shape. In most cases endoscopic removal is ideal, but in some cases where endoscopy is not successful surgical treatment may be necessary. Herein we present one case of self-inserted urinary bladder foreign body.
