    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: There are many types of foreign bodies in the bladder and urethra. The most common way is to insert foreign bodies through the external urethra by oneself or by others. It is often seen in situations such as masturbation, mental disorder, curiosity, etc. This article discusses the clinical diagnosis and treatment methods and preventive measures for foreign bodies in the bladder and urethra caused by sexual fetishes. CASE PRESENTATION: This article introduces a rare case. The patient was a 54-year-old male who inserted a thermometer into his urethra during masturbation and could not remove it. During the operation, we tried various methods to remove the thermometer many times, but due to the angle of the thermometer embedded in the bladder and urethra and the smooth tip of the thermometer, it could not be removed with foreign body forceps. Finally, a homemade negative pressure aspirator (consisting of a section of infusion tube and a 50 ml syringe) was used to completely remove the thermometer from the bladder and urethra. The Written informed consent was obtained from patient did not experience complications such as mercury leakage and bladder and urethral perforation. A telephone follow-up 4 months later showed that the patient urinated smoothly without discomfort such as frequent urination and urgency. DISCUSSION: There are many types of vesicourethral foreign bodies. When treating vesicourethral foreign bodies clinically, these can be removed through endoscopy, laparoscopy or open surgery according to the size, type and nature of the foreign bodies. At the same time, in order to effectively prevent the occurrence of bladder and urethra foreign bodies, sex education should be vigorously promoted.
