    AbstractWe report 8 cases of self-inserted unusual foreign bodies in the lower urinary tract, all being treated from 1976 to 1990. Three of them were located in the urethra and 5 in the bladder. Several objects were found (electric cable, tweezers, hairpin, drawing pin, pebbles, paper clip). In 4 cases the objects were inserted for masturbatory purposes. Five of the patients were psychologically ill or handicapped. The most common reason for consultation was dysuria, and the treatment procedures were endoscopy in 5 patients and cystotomy in the other 3.
