(CNN) – An Indian man came to the hospital with abdominal pain after having inserted the cable of a cell phone charger into his penis, a doctor who treated him told CNN on Monday.
The man arrived at the hospital in northeast India last month and said he had eaten headphones, said Dr. Walliul Islam, the hospital’s general surgeon.
But when the cable did not appear despite the patient being prescribed laxatives, the doctors resorted to surgery.
“He came to us after five days, (and) despite defecating several times, the cable did not come out. We then did an endoscopy but still couldn’t find anything. As the patient complained of severe pain, we decided to have surgery and discovered that there was nothing in his intestine, “Islam explained to CNN.
The patient initially told doctors that he had ingested headphones.

It was at that time that an x-ray revealed that the man had a 60-centimeter-long charger cable inside his bladder, which was inserted through his urethra, the tube that goes from the penis to the bladder.
“Then I made an incision there and pulled out the cable, which was actually a charger cable more than 60 centimeters long,” Islam said.
“If he had been honest, he would have spared us the problem and we could have dealt with it sooner,” he added.
The patient was discharged and is doing well, according to Islam.
“I have read that people used to get sexual gratification by inserting instruments through the penis. This is one of those cases, and the psychiatrist can help you beyond this point, “he added.
