A 41-year-old married man walked into an outpatient clinic in northern Iran with severe pain on urination, a weak stream, and pain above the pubic bone. By then, he could not pass urine at all. He had been leaking urine for about a month. His solution had been to squeeze superglue into his own urethra, repeatedly, over two weeks.
What eventually came out was a rod-shaped block of dried glue roughly 10 centimeters long. The case appeared in the Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine and remains one of a tiny handful of documented instances worldwide. It resurfaced in diagnostic-puzzle coverage this year, though the underlying report is not new. The more recent development in this niche is a review that finally tried to standardize how doctors handle it.
