Doctors shocked to find this fragile object inserted into man's anus

A man in Nepal had an operation that was so unusual that it was documented in the Journal of Nepal Medical Association (JNMA). The 47-year-old man inserted a glass into his rectum and was unable to remove it. After three days, he finally went to the hospital, constipated and sore from the presence of the foreign object.

Insertion for sexual gratification

When it comes to sexual self-gratification, there is no limit except that of our imagination. As the Daily Mail states:

This is partly to do with the number of nerves in the anus making it highly sensitive, and for men it can also stimulate the prostate, an erogenous part of the male reproductive system.

Following this principle, this man (whose name was not disclosed) thus had the idea of using a glass by inserting it into his anus. The problem is that the glass remained stuck in his body. And for three days.

Risk of glass fragments

Admitted to the emergency room after three days of constipation, the man initially told doctors that the glass had ended up in his anus by accident, before admitting that he had inserted it voluntarily.

After performing an X-ray examination, doctors were able to pinpoint the location of the 12-centimeter glass and considered the best way to remove it. In the article published in JNMA, we learn that:

The appearance of the glass on imaging showed that attempting sigmoidoscopy would be futile due to the presence of features of obstruction, the size of the glass, the direction of insertion, and the likelihood of breaking it on removal.

To take no chances, they eventually made an incision in his belly and were able to extract the object. The patient has since been able to recover and has no lasting effects.
