Doctors Krishanth Naidu, Maurice Mulcahy and Amanda Chung said they chose to publish the unusual case 'to create discussion among the medical fraternity given the great management challenge faced by the oddity and infrequency with which a fork is encountered in the penile urethra'. The study, published in the British Journal of Urology International this month, came after the researchers revealed some 'well-conducted studies' on penile traction devices that produced an 'effective and durable lengthening of the penis.' Speaking about the results, University of Turin urologists Marco Oderda and Paolo Gontero said: 'Penile size is a matter of great interest among men who are affected by 'short penis syndrome' or prescription hope reviews just believe themselves to have a small penis, even though the dimensions of the organ fall within the normal range.' Unfortunately the attempt backfired and it became stuck, leaving him in considerable pain.

Despite this, it took him 12 hours to pluck up the courage to seek medical help. The fork was so firmly lodged inside the man's body that doctors could not initially see the cause of the discomfort, according to the report in The International Journal of Surgery. According to the article, entitled ‘An Unusual Urethral Foreign Body', it is very rare to find alien objects lodged in the lower urinary tract.
