Why don’t they just X-Ray him to find the source of the maggots?
Interesting case. This article has slightly more detail, and it says:
A cystogram, I believe, is similar to a PET scan and traces the flow of urine. No explanation on why the tests have so far failed to locate the larvae, but I think X-rays are not suited for observing such small pieces of soft tissue.
Oh man, this thread is a pun waiting to happen.
Maybe he forgot to change his underwear.
I think I speak foreveryone when I say AHHHIIIEE!
But seriously, you can only X-ray the body for things sufficiently different in density from the surrounding tissue for there to be a contrast clear enough to tell what it is.
I’ve heard of having your penis stuck in your fly, but never a fly stuck in your penis!
(well, someone had to do it) 
Let me be the first to throw out an uninformed BULLSHIT. I just don’t believe it, especially that fully grown flies are coming out.
You think all the news organizations were fooled by a hoax? Possible, but seems unlikely to me. Snopes declared it as TRUE. Here are additional articles (though they mostly say the same thing):

Even the poor boy’s own parents didn’t believe it until they saw it for themselves.
Sheesh, if I had those flies buzzing around my house I’d be taping all my openings shut.
As to the possibility of an UL: I’m a little suspcious at the variability of the details in news reports. Sometimes it’s flies, sometimes beetles, sometimes just “coming from his penis” in an unspecified way, sometimes urinated, sometimes from a fistula in his lower abdomen, etc. It may well be true, but I think the story is spreading like an urban legend, with the details constantly mutating.
How far does a frogs tongue stretch?
Oh, brilliant, they want to irradiate the mystery insects? Has nobody ever heard of Mothra? Gamara? Godzilla? Do we really need 200 foot tall insects flying around trying to plant eggs in men’s penises? I don’t think so.
Oh good lord, that is the height of foulness. Next thing you know they’ll be bursting from his intestines alien-style.

- Yea, this is how a couple of the gore-sites are leaning also. One is saying that until they get a video showing a fly coming straight out and buzzing off, they aren’t going to believe. Nobody could turn up any good evidence that any insect is capable of this. There are a number of insects that have eggs/larvae that can mature in human skin, but there is an obvious wound area, and after it is finished coming out the bug has to sit around a while before it can fly.

I don’t know, but a Giraffe’s tongue is 18 inches long and prehensile.
Just tryin’ ta help.
I’ve heard of having your fly open but this is ridiculous. But this reeks of urban legendom. Show me photos!
Actually no, don’t show us any photos.
Maybe he has the early symptoms of Herod’s Evil? :eek:
3 words–Fibre Optic Probe.
Y’know, even if the X-Rays wouldn’t help locate the…“infestation,” one might still be tempted give the, er, “effected members” some nice, thourough doses of radiation. If that wouldn’t kill the little buggers, I’m not sure I’d want to know what would…
