A man who presented to doctors complaining of abdominal pain reportedly had a “history of accidental ingestion of headphones”.
The 30-year-old – who is said to have a 'history of accidental ingestion of headphones' – visited the doctors after complaining of abdominal pain last week.
The man reportedly had a history of 'history of accidental ingestion of headphones'. Picture: SWNS/MegaOne of the doctor said he had not seen anything like it in his 25 years of experience in surgery. Picture: SWNS/Mega.He was then given a two-day course of laxatives in a bid to alleviate the stomach pain before doctors performed a small incision into his gastrointestinal track, however the surgeons were unable to locate the chord.
It wasn't until a secondary X-ray conducted in the operation theatre revealed the obstruction was actually a charging chord that had found its way into the man's bladder. Dr Islam said that had the patient initially told him the truth, the surgery could have been avoided altogether. “The cord could have been extracted via the penile urethra through which he had inserted [it],” he said. Doctors believe it had been inserted for "sexual gratification".
