A woman, 29, had to have a dildo removed from her bladder after accidentally inserting it into the wrong hole.
The woman from Israel, who wished to remain anonymous reported herself to an emergency unit complaining of discomfort when passing urine and abdominal pain.
She revealed that she had put a crystal dildo into her urethra — the tube that allows urine to exit the body — during sx by mistake. DailyMail reports.
Despite spending ‘a few hours’ trying to remove the object, which was nearly 10cm long (4 inches) and 2.5cm wide (1 inch), she had been unable to get it back out.
Doctors at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem treated the women, who wasn’t identified.
The medics believe it is the ‘widest object’ that has ever been removed this way — with the previous record reported being 2.4cm wide.
The woman underwent an ultrasound and X-ray, which showed the dildo was stuck, horizontally, in her bladder.
Medics gave the woman, who had inserted the dildo for ‘sxual gratification’, antibiotics though an IV drip.
They performed cystoscopy — a procedure that sees a long thin tube, with a small camera attached to the end, inserted through the urethra — in a bid to remove it.
While the patient was under general anaesthetic, doctors passed a surgical tool called a ‘grasper’ through the tube to pull the dildo from her bladder via the urethra.
The woman was discharged the same day after doctors confirmed she could pass urine as normal.
Writing in the journal Urology Case Reports, the medical team said foreign bodies in the urinary tract — such as the urethra and bladder — are ‘quite rare’.
It is usually a result of self-insertion, ‘inquisitiveness’ or mental disorder, they said.
