Boy has surgery to remove 26 magnets from his penis.

A boy had to have surgery after he inserted 26 magnets into his penis because he was ‘curious’.

*Sigh* here we go.

The 11-year-old boy from China, named only as Pi Pi, started urinating blood which alerted people to the problem.

Pi Pi, really?

He was taken to hospital in Wenzhou City where doctors needed to deal with swelling after he put the toys known as ‘Buckballs’ made of a string of magnets into his urethra.

Paediatrician Wang Yongbiao said X-rays showed the neodymium magnetic spheres lighting up inside the boy’s bladder and urethra.

Let's just stop here and appreciate that Pi Pi was operated by Wang. Comedy Gold.

The medic said the Buckyballs caused a blockage that took up about three-fifths of the space in Pi Pi’s urethra tube, which helped explain the swelling and bleeding.

All 26 balls, which had become stuck to each other because of the magnetism, were removed in a surgery this week.

Doctor Wang said: ‘Around 10 of the Buckyballs were inside his bladder; the others were stuck at the front of his urethra.’

Now Pi Pi's buckyballs have been reduced to two?

The boy has been kept home from school and will need about half a month to recover, the medic added.

I hope they don't rip him apart when he gets back. Or imitate him, who knows. 

Doctor Wang explained that similar cases were common amongst children who are ‘curious’ and ‘still getting to know their bodies.

I didn't know it was popular among children to put stuff up their penises. I mean in the end he doesn't know what he's doing but how do the parents not notice such things right away?

Today's lesson is; don't put anything up your penis, ok?

Ziga.
