A 12-year-old Chinese boy required urgent medical attention after a bizarre sexual experiment involving a thermometer went horribly wrong. The unidentified boy was rushed to hospital after inserting the medical device into his penis while masturbating and suffered severe pain for nine hours.
X-rays revealed that the thermometer had been inserted so far into the urinary tract that it had actually entered the boy’s bladder. Doctors were concerned that removing it the way it came would damage the boy’s organs, so they removed it from the young man’s bladder using minimally invasive surgery.
The minor, from the central Chinese city of Chengdu, admitted to doctors at The First People hospital in Longquanyi district that he had carried out this risky practice known as ‘probing’ in order to receive sexual pleasure.
The young man ended up suffering intense pain for nine hours until he underwent emergency surgery, since apparently, and according to X-rays, the thermometer had been introduced far into the urinary tract, so much so that it had reached the child’s bladder.
This made the extraction process quite complicated, although the practice itself is already considered dangerous. Some of the many risks involved include the possibility of the object getting stuck, missing or scarring internal tissues, and puncturing the bladder.
For this reason, the urological experts who detailed the case in the Asia Journal of Surgery, they chose to remove the thermometer through the bladder instead of doing it the traditional way. The lead author of the case report, Dr. Changxing Ke, said the boy inserted the object into his penis as a result of “feelings of curiosity” and “lack of sex education in the country.”
