The patient was admitted to hospital with complaints of pain, dribbling urine and acute urinary retention spanning a 24-hour period. According to the boy, the fish slipped into his penis while he was cleaning his aquarium at home.
Professor Vezhaventhan and Professor Jeyaraman, who treated the boy and later wrote a paper on the case, explain: "While he was cleaning the fish tank in his house, he was holding a fish in his hand and went to the toilet for passing urine. When he was passing urine, the fish slipped from his hand and entered his urethra and then he developed all these symptoms."
After detecting the fish in the boy's bladder, Vezhaventhan and Jeyaraman used a technique known as cystourethroscopy to insert a special set of forceps down the patient's penis. Unfortunately, the fish was just too slippery to grip, so they resorted to using a rigid ureteroscope with a tool attached that is normally used for removing bladder stones.
The fish the urologists removed, which Practical Fishkeeping believes to be a small member of the Betta genus, measured 2cm long and 1.5cm wide.
Vezhaventhan and Jeyaraman report that a range of self-inflicted foreign bodies have been previously removed from the male genitalia and lower urinary tract.
After the removal of the fish the boy's symptoms disappeared, but he was subsequently sent for psychiatric counseling.

That's it! The fish will need to find somewhere else to live! Can't risk having them lurk in the bath...
On a more serious note - ew!

Is this like these people that 'fall' on to ketchup bottles while making fish finger sandwiches naked?

As if a fish accidently slips into your penis.
That's the dumbest story I've ever heard.It's like those things you tell your mum as a kid:
"I didn't drop the vase. I left it on the table and the wind blew it over."-

What, why was the fish anyway near his penis, surely he wouldnt take it to the bathroom?
And even if he did, im sure when he dropped it, there is no way it could 'slip up there'
What a strange story

you know what ... why did i read this... i remember being deathly afraid of the killed millipedes going into your ear and eating your brain.. i have never worked out of that one and now the fish.... ........

I think we should let Chris Hansen handle this one........

Small fish+hand+penis does not equal "accident while peeing", it equals accident while pleasuring.
Still, poor kid - as if the discomfort caused by the fish wasn't enough the treatment sounds horrific!

wtf, how is that even possible?
Sounds like a dubious kinda 'accident' to me..

This whole story is odd and creepy. But lets give the kid the benefit of the doubt. So he goes in the bathroom with fish in hand (huh?). And then while he peeing the fish swims upstream and squeezes up through his penis all the way into his bladder (huh?) But then when he leaves the bathroom, he doesnt question where the fish went? "Duh, Gee, it was in my hand a minute ago????"
There are more details to this story than the article is telling. -
According to the boy, the fish slipped into his penis while he was cleaning his aquarium at home.
"While he was cleaning the fish tank in his house, he was holding a fish in his hand and went to the toilet for passing urine. When he was passing urine, the fish slipped from his hand and entered his urethra and then he developed all these symptoms."Okay, a couple things.
WHY WOULD YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM HOLDING A FISH.
Why would you hold a fish out of water?
If he was consciously aware of this, why didn't the boy go to the ER asap?
