A foreign body in the urinary bladder is an uncommon finding in urology emergencies. There are several ways in which intravesical foreign bodies can occur, including iatrogenic injuries, self-insertion for pleasure, sexual abuse, assault, and migration from adjacent sites. This case report is about an interesting presentation of a 36-year-old male who presented to the urology outpatient department with a burning sensation and dribbling while urinating for 1 month. An X-ray of the pelvis revealed multiple radiodensities (morphology was suggested as magnetic balls) in the pelvic soft tissues. Cystoscopy was performed and three-pronged forceps were utilized to remove the magnetic foreign bodies. The patient had an insignificant hospital course and was discharged with analgesics and antibiotics.
