A patient, 22, suffered horrific injuries after leaving a sex toy inserted in their rectum during a medical procedure.
The device was inside the patient’s back passage during a routine MRI scan, resulting in a hazardous reaction between the powerful magnets and the metal parts of the toy.
According to a horrific scan image the result was the object being dragged up through the patient, potentially damaging organs and tissue along the way.
Images circulating on social media that have been viewed millions of times show the item lodged inside the patient.
The picture was shared in May last year by X user, ‘DreadPirateZero’, who captioned it: ‘Never wear a butt plug to your MRI appointment. My god….’
The post detailed how powerful magnetic forces used to create an MRI’s detailed scans reportedly pulled the metallic core of the silicone toy through the patient’s rectum and up into their chest cavity at the ‘speed of sound’.
The patient reportedly purchased the sex toy on the basis it was’100 per cent silicone’ which — while still unadvised to have inserted during a scan — would have been safe for interaction with magnetic energy.
But unbeknownst to purchaser the toy had a metal ‘core’ that reacted to these magnetic forces.
While the details remain unclear, a case flagged to health officials sheds light on what may have occured.
This report, filed a day before the scan image started being shared on the internet, tells of patient who was left ‘screaming’ after undergoing an MRI scan, and rushed to hospital.
The unnamed health professional who filed the report said the patient hadn’t disclosed she had the sex toy inside her before the scan started.
They said: ‘She went in for the MRI and when the MRI was over and the tech was pulling the table out the patient started to scream.
‘The patient stated that she felt nauseous, was in pain, and felt like she was going to pass out.
‘An ambulance was called for this patient and she was sent to the hospital.
‘The patient was checked out by the radiologist at the site before transport to ensure the patient was doing okay.’
