Fish swam into the penis!

Physicians found a 0.7-inch long fish in the bladder of a 14-year old boy that had slipped up his penis.

The boy was brought to the hospital because he complained to have pains in the lower part of the abdomen, a burning sensation in the penis, and difficulties in passing urine. After examination  physicians gave an interesting explanation for his problems. A real fish was hiding in his bladder, and it which found itself there by accident, according to the boy. His bizarre explanation was that the fish slipped into his penis while he was cleaning his aquarium at home. 

The fish had to be removed from his bladder by physicians.

In any case, the boy had to go through a slightly complicated procedure of removing the fish, and we gather that he will not repeat anything like again.

However, this is not the only case where fish was found in the male sexual organ, but the next one is truly an accident. The Amazon river harbours a parasite called the candirú fish (willy fish) that feeds on the blood of other fish. The candirú fish enters into their bodies through respiratory currents, settles into the gill, and feeds on their prey’s blood. The fish is also known to attack people, men in particular. They are attracted by the smell and taste of human urine which they use to swim up its stream and into the penis. Removal is only possible with the help of a physician. There is no evidence the fish can survive inside the human body, as well as do any damage. Nevertheless, the feeling that there is a parasite in your sexual organ is surely  not pleasant.

The candirú fish is parasite which swims into the penis or the vagina while you urinate, and settles there.

Although the candirú fish was considered a legend for a long time, increasingly more people believe in the abilities of the fish after hearing the reports of such cases. At least this time women got lucky because the fish prefer to attack men. The vaginal lips make the access to the vagina fairly difficult, while the fish do not have such problems when entering the male sexual organ.
