A man who got two large needles stuck in his penis left doctors shocked when revealing that they had moved into his bum.
The 47-year-old, who hasn’t been named, was left with them wedged in his body for an entire month.
It’s believed the 5cm sharp objects were difficult to dislodge, so it was a waiting game until they could come out… on the other end.

The man, who was married, allegedly self-presented himself at the hospital 18 hours after inserting the needles into his penis.

And although the reason is unclear, it was following a late-night erection.
According to a medical journal, the patient, who denied any mental health issues, complained of “mild pain” during the insertion – but not thereafter.
Then, however, an “intolerable level of distress” at the base of the penis occurred, leading him to seek medical advice.
A CT scan revealed that the needles had migrated into his pelvic capacity, and that’s not all they found, reports Need To Know.
10 small steel balls, which he had also inserted and each measured a centimetre, were discovered.
While he asked for the needles to be removed, he isn’t reported to have asked for them to be taken out, too.
A week later, a pain was felt in his right buttock, which he described as an “unbearable acupuncture-like sensation”.
An X-ray revealed that one needle had remained in place, but the other, had moved down into his bum.
An incision was made and the sharp object was extracted.
Over a month later, the second made its way out of the man’s body.
The case, which happened in China, is described as one of just a few that have ever been reported to the public.
