Doctors try to fish out bizarre object from teen's intestine - The boy was 'advised against inserting further objects into his rectum in the future'.


At first glance, its white, curved appearance may make you think it's an egg. But it's not.
The object got trapped in a teen's intestine after he put it in his anus — and doctors struggled to get it out.
The 14-year-old, from Australia, panicked when he realised he couldn't retrieve it or push it out.

He owned up about his blunder — which happened with a golf ball — to his mother, who whisked him to the nearest emergency department.

The boy, who wasn't identified, also confessed that he had unsuccessfully tried to expel the ball by defecating.
X-ray scans showed it had made its way to his sigmoid colon, the last part of the large intestine, which connects to the rectum.
Doctors tried to remove the golf ball using six different retrieval devices, including a suction cup, medical net, quad-prong grasper and a balloon catheter.
After two hours, medics gave up with 'aggressive' interventions, hoping the golf ball would come out on its own.
However, an X-ray performed 24 hours later showed it was still there.
With the family reluctant for the boy to undergo anymore physical removal attempts, doctors decided to trial administering a large quantity of laxatives.
The boy was given one litre of laxatives — resulting in the 'successful evacuation' of the golf ball three hours later.
'Following passage of the golf ball, the patient remained clinically well and was discharged the same day,' the researchers said.
'There was no evidence of bowel injury.'

Doctors discovered the golf ball was inside his sigmoid colon - the part of the large intestine that is closest to the rectum and anus

They added that the boy was 'advised against inserting further objects into his rectum in the future'.
Doctors concluded: 'A golf ball presents unique technical challenges when attempting to remove from the colon due to its mechanical properties.
'These include its large size, spherical shape, incompressibility, and the presence of dimples, which prevents a suction seal.'
They added that future patients with foreign bodies inside them, where there is no obstruction of bowel function, should first be given laxatives in order to encourage the object to pass by itself.

The case was reported in the Case Reports in Surgery journal.
 
So am I reading this right, they could have just given him some laxatives upfront to move this out, but they thought it'd be fun to stick half a dozen instruments up there before even trying to see if it'd come out with some basic medication?

Something tells me these doctors are either big pervs or trying to make sure the kid never does anything like this in the future by giving him the works now.

To be fair, the invasive procedures were probably done at the 14 year-old boy's request.

It's generally easier and safer for the ER to do a reach and grab for whatever foreign object that nights idiot has lodged in his ass, then it is to pour a gallon of laxitive in him and wait for him to explode. They have lots of useful tools for yanking shit out of an ass. At least golf balls show up on x-rays. Y'know those glass dildos that all the e-thots use? They don't. Thr Radiology Dept at St Vinnies used to keep an educational scrapbook of some of the more interesting shit imaged up peoples asses.
 
I wonder what made the boy consider shoving things up his ass to be a perfectly good past time like running around outside and vidya?

Then again, there's a good chance this little faggot shoved living things up his ass.

Mom: "All your attempts to get the ball out are failing and I think he is enjoying this too much! He's gay and degenerate enough as it is! Can you just give him the horrible shits instead?"
 
Gays and having to go to the hospital to have bizarre objects removed from their assholes.

Name a more iconic duo!
The scary thing is all it takes is a rumor of someone having succeeded in putting something absurd up their ass, and they all have to give it a try. Does anybody remember the 1980's rumor of "Richard Gere stuck a Gerbil up his ass!" aka the origin of Lemiwinks. Well history will tell us that Gere did no such thing. And nobody SUCCESFULLY put a Gerbil up their ass. Because it is all but physically impossible to cram a live Gerbil up an asshole. But that didn't stop them from trying... and trying. and trying some more. Have you ever seen what a justifiably pissed off Rodent will do to convenient dangling scrotum when he finds himself being stuffed up a gay mans ass? I have! More than once! It will haunt me forever. The only thing that brings me comfort is that was back when Rabies shots were long and painful. Because boy did those bastards deserve it.

You can get gay men to literally stick ANYTHING up their asses. All you need is the internet. Live Snake, Crankshaft from a 1972 John Deere Tractor, An unexploded WW1 Artillery Shell (This just showed up in an ER in the past month).
 
Another question is, why he lodged it so deep in his ass that he needed to go to the hospital to fish it out?
So the human GI tract is a wonderment of sphincters and peristaltic movement. While this generally deals with unidirectional travel, it's not the only thing it is capable of. The anus has two sphincters and "clenching" at the wrong time can just as readily swallow objects as it does evacuate them. From there it's a quickly escalating situation where they need to get around/grip a sphere without pushing it further in. The panic/stress setting in probably ensured the body wasn't trying to evacuate it.

I remember reading an article years ago (I will try to find it) about proctologists and how they on a regular basis deal with people who shoved the weirdest stuff up their asshole, like an orange or something, and then claim they fell on it and just ended up in their ass accidentally.

I remember that article.

There was a radio show host I really liked who spent an hour talking about the weirdest things people shoved up their asses. She visited the Rectal Foreign Bodies homepage and took callers.

One guy had about 30 x-ray pictures of all kinds of stuff stuck up people's asses. He used to be friends with doctors and they'd get drunk and pass them around for a laugh. He donated them to her and I think some of them ended up displayed on the Rectal homepage.

Some doctors called in too. One lady said that when she used to work in the ER she had to remove a Coke bottle from a really fat guy's ass. She said that it was so lodged in there that it felt like trying to wrestle a 500 lb. tuna onto a fishing boat.

Then a doctor who used to work in prisons told some stories. He said that he had to deal with perforated colons a lot because prisoners were always trying to hide shivs in there. Peeled potatoes were one of the most common objects he had to remove.
