There are multiple reports of foreign bodies inserted into the lower urinary tract. We report the case of an incidentally discovered foreign body identified within the bladder in a male patient presenting with a radio antenna protruding from the urethra attached to a head set. On workup patient was found to have an additional foreign body within the bladder and second radiolucent object within the urethra. This case demonstrates the importance of complete evaluation of the lower urinary tract during workup of inserted foreign bodies and the value of the bedside ultrasound as a diagnostic tool in distinguishing between rectal and genitourinary tract insertion.

: Self-inserted foreign bodies in the lower urinary tract are rare among children. The treatment of foreign bodies in the urethra is determined by their type, size, location, shape, and mobility. : We describe here a 10-year-old boy who had self inserted a needle into his urethra. Initial attempts to remove the needle from the urethra by inserting a cystoscope failed. The patient presented to our institution with bleeding per urethra with feeding tube insitu per urethra. As already attempted for urethroscopic removal, direct removal of needle done under general aneathesia done.: Per Rectal examination plays an important role and gives adequate information and timely management of the child leads to uneventful hospital stay Psychiatric evaluation is mandatory to detect an underlying mental disorder.

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the role of FVC (frequency volume chart) in the male patient with urinary incontinence. That will definitely help to evaluate patient’s objective lower urinary tract symptoms including incontinence and guide to manage those symptoms. But there are less number of reported studies showing role of FVC in men with urinary incontinence.Methods: Male patient (19-60 years) presenting with incontinence symptoms from 1st February 2018 to 30th July 2018, were enrolled in the study. They were asked to record the time and volume of each oral fluid intake, voided volume for 3 consecutive days and put tick in the column of incontinence in the FVC if present.Results: Total 205 male patients presented with incontinence symptoms were evaluated, they were divided into 3 age groups (19-32, 33-46 and 47-60 years). Mean incontinence were found 2.65 (19-32 years). 2.99 (33-46 years) and 3.13 (47-60 years). In 47-60 years group total oral fluid intake is positively correlated with frequency (p <0.05) but not in other groups. Correlation of Nocturia with incontinence (p >0.05) and frequency with incontinence (p >0.05) were not statistically significant in any age groups.Conclusions: The FVC is the registration of voiding parameters by patient in his own environment. Assessment of lower urinary tract symptoms based on a history alone is not accurate, value of FVC are found to be consistent and accurate, so it will guide us to initiate management in male with urinary incontinence and also help to assess treatment responsiveness.

Self-insertion of foreign body in lower urinary tract is rare in children. It is commonly seen in adults. The reason for self-insertion may be accidental, due to psychiatric illness, curiosity, sexual stimulation or therapeutic in cases of stricture. Most of the cases reported are in adults. Here we present a 12-year-old child presenting with self-insertion of metallic hair pin into the lower urinary tract with symptoms of dysuria and retention of urine. X-ray and ultrasonography were diagnostic modalities which aided in the diagnosis. The child underwent successful cystoscopic removal of foreign body after thorough investigation. Post removal child underwent psychiatric evaluation. He was not suffering from any psychiatric condition. He admitted having inserted the hair pin out of curiosity. Child was passing urine in good stream at time of discharge. At six months follow up child remains asymptomatic.

A foreign body cystitis in a 1.5-year-old male guinea pig with treatment-resistant stranguria and haematuria was diagnosed by ultrasonographic examination. A sedge leaf (Carex species) was identified as the causing agent by sequencing of nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS1) and a chloroplast marker (trnL-trnF) from the leaf obtained on postmortem examination. The eventual mechanism of migration of the plant leaf into the bladder was investigated. A concomitant fungal lower urinary tract infection with Candida albicans was diagnosed by cultural means and DNA sequencing. Firm granules composed of inflammatory secretions blocked the urethra and interfered with diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. To the authors’ knowledge this is the first report of foreign body cystitis in a small rodent, which should be on the differential list of therapy-resistant lower urinary tract disease in guinea pigs.
