We 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. ⋯ 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.
