Abstract: Self-insertion of foreign bodies into the urethra is an uncommon but significant clinical situation that urologists may encounter during their careers. It raises several questions, particularly regarding the mode of insertion. Such cases present a therapeutic challenge, as the removal of the object must be performed without causing trauma or injury to the bladder or urethra. Clinical examination, imaging studies, and, when necessary, psychosexual evaluation, are essential to establish an accurate diagnosis and offer the patient appropriate management. We report a 69-year-old male patient who self-inserted a pencil into his urethra and was managed in the urology department of the National Hospital Amirou Boubacar Diallo in Niamey.
