- Cable has been removed through surgery after an incision on boy's urethra
A teenage boy in north China has had a phone cable removed from his penis after inserted it into himself out of curiosity.
The 13-year-old Duoduo had cut off a USB head and put the cable into the genitals. However, he failed to pull it out and started to suffer from unbearable pain.
Doctors said the cord had become knotted while getting stuck inside Duoduo and it reached as far as his bladder.

Duoduo, from Linkou in Heilongjiang Province, was first admitted to local People's Hospital on June 14 after suffering pain in the penis, according to Heilongjiang Metropolis Channel. The boy had also found blood in his urine.
He was then transferred to Harbin Children's Hospital for emergency treatment.
Dr Xu Liyan at Department of Urology explained that the cable stuck in Duoduo's penis had twisted and tangled. It's said the cable reached as far as his bladder.
'From the X-ray, we can see a dead knot and that's the reason why he could not pull it out himself,' said Dr Xu.
Dr Xu added that the length of the cable inside Duoduo's body was about 10 centimetres long (3.9-inch).

Duoduo explained to the doctor that he was curious about how it would feel to insert a cable into his privates after hearing phallic jokes among his classmates at school.
Doctors tried to apply lubricant to pull out the cable, but they found the knot was bulky to pass through the urethra. They later decided to make an incision at the point where the cable had got tangled before removing it.
'Pulling the cable out directly could have caused secondary injuries to Duoduo, therefore it was better to have the cable removed surgically. We stitched up the cut after,' Dr Xu explained to local media.
The teenage boy has fully recovered and was discharged from the hospital on July 3, according to the report.
