Abstract
The presence of a foreign body in the urethra is uncommon. A wide variety of foreign bodies
have been described in urethras, but they are often missed in physical examinations as the patient
tries to hide the fact. We report two unusual cases of foreign bodies in the urethra in two
adolescent boys suffering from psychiatric disorders. In the first case, a 12-year-old boy
presented with introduction of sewing needle into the urethra 3 days back. The patient in that
case suffered from a delusional disorder. In the second case, a 19 year old man introduced a
metallic screw into his urethra for sexual gratification several times in the preceding 4 years.
That patient suffered from schizophrenia. Although psychiatric illness is associated with urethral
foreign body, such underlying psychiatric disorders are very rare.
