It can also be caused by human factors, such as non-absorbable sutures left after surgery, electric wires inserted from the urethral orifice, plastic wires, ballpoint pen cores, hair clips, etc. . The foreign body can stay in the bladder for a long or short time, up to several years, and often secondary infections and bladder stones.
