Man had tweezers stuck in his urethra for four years

Doctors have taken part in a delicate operation to remove a foreign object from inside a man’s penis.

The patient, 22, who has not been named, claimed he did not suffer any pain since he inserted a pair of tweezers into his urethra four years earlier.

Doctors applied pressure on either side of the penis to keep the 2.7-inch tweezers closed while squeezing them out from the base of the shaft. 

If they removed them while they were still open the sharp ends could have damaged the urethra.

It is now known why he inserted the tweezers into his manhood, but some men enjoy putting items in their penis while masturbating. 

The practice is known as sounding.
