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?

    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.

        1. A big blue metal star
        2. A vibrating toothbrush that a girl swore she “swallowed” all the way down to her lower large intestine
        3. A button
        4. A tooth
        5. A tampon
        6. Many, many, many toys without wide bases
        7. (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
