Abstract
- Urethral sounding is the insertion of an object or liquid into the urethra for sexual gratification. It is associated with a substantial risk of loss of the foreign body in the bladder, urethral strictures or infection. Bladder perforation is a rare complication of urethral sounding which is usually associated with a sharp object. Here, we present the case of a young adult female presenting with abdominal pain after practicing urethral sounding with a blunt marking pen. She was found to have an intraperitoneal bladder perforation, requiring exploratory laparotomy and bladder repair. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
