Man hospitalised after inserting 1m-long cable into penis to relieve itch he couldn't reach

Chinese doctors removed a 1m-long cable from a man's penis which he inserted into his urethra to relieve a raging itch caused by prostatitis (swelling of the prostate gland).

The unnamed pensioner is said to have inserted the phone charging cable up his penis to relieve the itch, on March 30, but it became tangled in his bladder.
