35-year-old man rushed to the hospital after piercing his genitals with 15 needles for almost a year!

New Delhi: After inserting 15 sewing needles in his genitals, a 35-year-old man was rushed to the hospital.

As per a report, the man had the needles in his private parts for almost a year before he decided to seek medical intervention after a sudden sensation of acute pain and blood discharge post urination.

It took the doctors an hour and a half to remove the all the craft tools – 5 centimetres to 10 centimetres in length – from the narrowest part of his phallus, using a guidewire.

A newspaper reported that the 35-year-old bachelor was admitted to The General Hospital of Shenyang Military Region in Shenyang of Liaoning Province on June 20, according to the Deccan Chronicle.

The man confessed to sticking needles in his genitals for about a year after doctors inquired about the strange situation.

Dr Cao Zhiqiang, a urologist with the hospital, said that an x-ray showed the needles stuck at the urethra region. The patient, who remains unnamed, went on to claim that he did not feel any pain as he put needles in with the pinhead up, the Deccan Chronicle reported.

Dr Liu Long, chief urologist and Dr Cao used an ureteroscope to examine the urinary tract, as well as resectoscope and laparascope.

Dr Cao said Andrology department had had patients who put pen refills and thermometers in the penis but never someone like this.

He went on to add that this was perhaps a sort of ‘fetish’ similar to ‘sadomasochism and foot fetishes,’ the report said.
