title: Searching for the G spot in the urinary bladder: autoerotism and potential complications.
abstract: Self-insertion of foreign bodies into the urethra and urinary bladder for autoerotic stimulation is a rather rare urological emergency condition. We present a case of 41-year-old lady who self-inserted a crochet needle into the urethra for sexual pleasure, which was successfully retrieved during examination under general anaesthetic and endoscopic bladder evaluation. Foreign bodies in the urinary bladder are rarely encountered yet represent a urological challenge that requires prompt management in view of possible sequellae if left untreated.
