I have seen a lot of stories online of people getting things stuck in there and doctors having to remove it, even items like cucumbers. I get that an item with a highly irregular shape could get stuck. But if it’s something long and rounded, why can people not just poop it out? Is it because the item isn’t soft enough?
Just a friendly reminder: flared bases are important
Spoken from experience
make sure you get ones that don’t snap off
So this is quite the read, I recommend it:

But it doesn’t answer the question. I’m, hnnnnnng working on it.
I was going to skim it but became so enthralled I read the whole thing. I don’t know why.
Same. I think the highlights were the reasons and the list of objects.
Lightbulbs and knives?? Why
Knifes because that’s what one keeps in their prison wallet, and lightbulbs because one is looking for something else up there.
Having trouble finding the knife.
The reasons for insertion in decreasing order of frequency are autoeroticism, concealment, attention-seeking behavior, “accidental,” assault, and to alleviate constipation.
I love how they put accidental in quotes.
I’ve worked in GI. You wouldn’t believe the things people put in their butt and then try to deny later. I’ve…seen…everything.
I mean, you can’t just not tell us some of the top-10
- A big blue metal star
- A vibrating toothbrush that a girl swore she “swallowed” all the way down to her lower large intestine
- A button
- A tooth
- A tampon
- Many, many, many toys without wide bases
- (Bonus) An old man with a big tattoo of a smiley face on his butt
Those are just off the top of my head. It was always great when my eyes would focus on a procedure photo and start to wonder “what the hell is that?”
Lol, I know what you meant, but I can’t help picture #7 as the entire old man coming out of his back end. Strangest thing for me so far has been a light bulb. It was the old classic story of ‘I was on a step stool in the kitchen and…’ lmao
I’m guessing that at some point your rectum cramps closed and the foreign object ends up being trapped behind the sphincter.
Note that I’m not a medical professional, nor do I pretend to be one on the internet. I do have personal lived experience of constipation induced cramping and it’s not fun, not to mention, painful to the point of passing out.
