5 Strangest Things Found In People's Butts.
Number 5.
A 72-year-old male farmer entered the University of Mississippi Medical Center for the first
time with the complaint of "bottle in my rectum."
This purely accidental transanal introduction or penetration was due to the patient's practice
of using a nearby refuse and dumping area to defecate.
A break in the wooden limb the patient used to defecate led to the man falling heavily
and directly over an empty glass bottle that was deeply embedded in the ground.
The doctors found the neck of the bottle snapped as the patient was experiencing a great deal
of pain and "rolled heavily" to one side.
The bottle was contained in the lower rectum with the jagged edge facing the anal phincter.
The man, who was described as obese, weighing approximately 225 pounds, remarkably only
felt pain during the examination of the anal area.
Number 4.
A deodorant aerosol canister was bimanually removed in a 23-year-old single male patient's
rectum after self-insertion.
The man arrived at Riyadh Care Hospital in Saudi Arabia complaining of lower abdominal
pain.
Doctors identified the lodged object in the rectum after a pelvic X-ray ray showed it
was just above the sacral curve.
The patient did not reveal his reason for self-insertion.
The deodorant can was removed bimanually under general anesthesia.
The man was discharged on the second day.
Number 3.
Finding sex toys like vibrators stuck up a patient's rectum in the ER may be common but
not being lodged for a period of six months.
A case report published in The Medical Journal of Australia found a 64-year-old male had
a plastic vibrator successfully removed from his rectum after six months.
The patient reportedly endured a world trip with the vibrator making it the "most travelled
foreign body" introduced into the rectum, wrote the researchers in 1979.
Number 2.
A rectal examination found a rock-solid foreign body was both visible and palpable just inside
the anal sphincter of a 27-year-old.
The case report published in the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology
found an unemployed young man injected a liquid adhesive in his rectum using a dual-chambered
glue gun, which hardened and became fixed internally.
The doctors did an Internet search using just the company name and the product code number,
which led them to an exact photograph of the glue gun and a description of the adhesive.
The researchers wrote the product contained 330 milliliters of epoxyacrylate resin, along
with dibenzoyl peroxide and styrene in the dual cartridge.
The doctors opened the abdomen through a lower midline incision and found the mixture made
a cast of the rectum 16 cm long and 300 grams in weight.
Number 1.
Abdominal pain brought a 50-year-old man in to the Accident and Emergency Department in
Kwong Wah Hospital in Hong Kong.
A physical exam revealed the patient had peritonitis, while the abdominal radiograph showed a shadow
of an eel, according to the case reported published in the journal Surgery.
Upon further questioning, the patient revealed he inserted an eel into the rectum to relieve
his constipation, which prompted the ER physician to perform an emergency laparotomy to pull
out a 50-cm-long eel.
The eel was found to be biting the splenic flexure of the colon and a 3-cm perforation
was found over the anterior wall of the rectum.
The patient was discharged home on day seven.
