You think you have problems?

Rectal foreign bodies are typically inserted and the majority of cases are the result of erotic activity. Typically found objects are vibrators, dildoes, light bulbs, candles, shot glasses, and bottles. Some foreign bodies may be found in the rectum that were initially swallowed but then present with complications in the rectum. Patients may be very embarrassed to disclose the circumstances regarding the foreign body insertion and there may have been multiple attempts at removal. The image shown demonstrates a vibrator in the rectum along with a pair of salad tongs that became lodged after attempts at self-removal.

Mamboni, if you're into this kinda stuff, just say so. YOu're among friends, no need to be timid.

To each their own! But, it's not my bag baby!!!!

My brother in law has stories like this about his residency . . . the most memorable one involved a fully intact light bulb, where the sun don't shine. The best part is when the patient tries to explain this foreign body in his body, and in the case of the light bulb: he fell on it. Um, ok.

A buddy of mine did an ER residency, he said the most unusual thing about people coming in with objects stuck in the fudge tunnel was the fact that there was a medical protocol for most. for instance, with a light bulb, they would drill a small hole in the end, flow melted wax in, wait until it solidified, then remove.

When a guy came in with a Ken doll up there, THAT was tricky!
