HEALTH GOSSIP: The Extent a Man can go to satisfy his sexual dessires...

   Doctors have removed a 10cm long steel fork from inside a man's penis, after a sexual adventure went horribly wrong. The 70-year-old visited Canberra Hospital's emergency department complaining of bleeding genitalia. He then promptly admitted that he had inserted a piece of cutlery into his urethra in an attempt to pleasure himself. Unfortunately the attempt backfired and it became stuck, leaving him in considerable pain. Despite this, it took him 12 hours to pluck up the courage to seek medical help.
   The fork was so firmly lodged inside the man's body thatdoctors could not initially see the cause of the discomfort,according to the report in The International Journal of Surgery. However, once it had been located,'multiple retrieval methods were contemplated with success achieved via forceps traction and copious lubrication.'In most cases embarrassed patients attempted to retrieve the item themselves, risking injury and foreign body
migration.
   The real danger was infection leading to death, because ashamed patients often delay medical treatment, they said.Doctors generally try to avoid surgery in such situations,instead choosing an option that would minimise trauma and preserve erectile function.
According to the report, typical symptoms after having
inserted a foreign object into the male urethra include lower abdominal pain, penile pain, swelling of glans or body of penis, inflammation of the urethra, dyspareunia (pain
during sex), blood-stained urine, pyuria (pus in urine),increased urinary frequency, inability to urinate and fever.
   In my own opinion as one in the Medical field, such cases are more of psychological, however considering the man's age it becomes quite a funny and unexpected incident. At 70, it is expected that a man's sexual urge should have declined by greater than 75%, so to have an elderly man do this it definitely should be a psychological issue..
