Japanese Man Wedges Jump Rope up Urethra & Into Bladder

Penis insertion disasters persist as an older Japanese man managed to get yet another unconventional object lodged in his bladder, this time the object in question being a jump rope and sure to leave many confused as to how such impossible insertions happen every time.

The 79-year-old man visited a doctor due to having problems voiding his bladder, and not long into his visit the source of his agony was discovered: a 90-inch jump rope that was uncomfortably balled up within his bladder, which was shoved up there through the penis by the old man himself.

The obstruction was found after doctors discovered “a large object accompanied by acoustic shadows” in his bladder, and the old man (who has remained anonymous) eventually confessed to his penis-based insertion, albeit without explaining his reason for doing it.

X-rays had doctors describing the jump rope as “a wire-like coiled foreign body”, and the item was impossible to extract from the same entrance it was shoved into, so surgery had to be performed – a statement from Professor Toshiki Kijima, who co-authored the study:

“Transurethral extraction was difficult considering the length of the rope and its entanglement in the bladder. Traditionally, grasping forceps and retrieval baskets are used to remove foreign bodies. However, wires inserted into the bladder usually curl up as the bladder contracts; therefore, special consideration is required for wire-like foreign bodies.”

An incision made in the male’s abdomen was used to retrieve the jump rope, and the old man was able to recover fine with no additional complications:

Urethral insertion disasters seem to be common as curious men have shoved any and everything up there and gotten it stuck, from padlocks and magnetic beads to needles, electrical cables, USB cables, thermometers, more magnetic beads, chopsticks, more needles, and headphone wires.
