Original title: a 13-year-old boy had 29 magnetic beads inserted into his urethra for 3 months
Recently, the urology department of Xi'an children's hospital treated a boy who was in puberty. Out of curiosity, the boy stuffed several magnetic beads into the urethra. Because of shyness and fear, he did not dare to tell his parents until he could not bear the blood and abdominal pain.
On May 21, the reporter came to the urology department of Xi'an children's hospital. The doctor told the reporter that not long ago, they received a 13-year-old boy. About three months ago, in the process of playing with magnetic beads, the child, out of curiosity, lined up the magnetic beads and inserted them along his own urethra. When he felt uncomfortable, he wanted to pull them out, but the magnetic beads were broken from the middle, and the rest of them remained in the urethra.
Because of fear and shyness, the child did not tell his parents. Within the next three months, he had abdominal pain and wanted to urinate, but he couldn't. Three months later, the parents found that the child was lame when walking. After questioning, they knew it was the disease.
The doctor said that after examination, there was no residual magnetic beads in the child's urethra. These magnetic beads were all in the child's bladder, and they had become a local mass, so there was no possibility of 'self discharge'. After operation, all 29 magnetic beads were removed. At present, the child is recovering well and has been discharged from the hospital to go home for recuperation.
