Abstract

Foreign body in the urethra is a relatively rare occurrence. A variety of foreign bodies, majority of which were mostly self-inflicted for psychiatric disorder, senility, intoxication, and autoerotic stimulation, have been reported in the literature. We report a case of self-inserted foreign body (olive seed) in the urethra.
