A British man has perforated his bowel after inserting an ‘unusually large’ 77cm-long sex toy in his anus, a case report reveals.
The patient, whose name is unknown, used the bendy object for sexual gratification when he was drunk.
Doctors revealed he ‘lost control’ of the toy because he was intoxicated, allowing it to get stuck inside his rectum.
The bizarre case, published in the BMJ Case Reports, has prompted experts to warn that inserting objects can be ‘highly dangerous’.
Describing the object as ‘unusually large’ in the journal, doctors said: ‘This case is the first of its kind and exclusive due to the enormous size.’

The patient, who was in severe pain, presented himself to the AE department at a hospital ran by the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust.
He explained to medics how he intentionally placed the non-battery-operated sex toy into his rectum while under the influence of alcohol.

Medics, led by Dr Saad Ikram, were concerned when an X-ray revealed a ‘smooth shadow’ in the right side of his abdomen.
The man then informed doctors, who were stunned over the size of the mass, that the sex toy measured three quarters of a metre.

COLORECTAL FOREIGN BODIES: THE FACTS
Colorectal foreign bodies are not uncommon and occur most commonly for sexual purposes.
However, cases of them resulting from medical and criminal purposes have been reported in the literature.
A vast variety of objects have been reported in case studies, for example, glass bottles, cans, aerosol sprays, candles and bulbs.
Sports goods, wooden rods, food items, hoover extensions, broomsticks and sexual toys have also been recorded.
Further scans then revealed the large foreign body had perforated his bowel.
Surgeons removed the sex toy and also cut out 20cm of his large intestine, including the part that was torn.
The patient spent nine days hooked up to feeding tubes in hospital and was fitted with a stoma bag to stop waste passing through his colon.
Dr Rishi Goel, a consultant gastroenterologist at Kingston Hospital, London, told MailOnline that inserting objects ‘is ill-advised and highly dangerous’.
‘Foreign body object insertion into the gastrointestinal tract can lead to bleeding and perforation which may require endoscopic or surgical treatment.
‘Such irresponsible behaviour can lead to a significant burden on the provision of emergency hospital care.’
The case comes after MailOnline broke the news of an Italian man who shoved up a drinking glass up his anus for pleasure shattered.
The unnamed patient, believed to be from Milan, told doctors he put the object up his bottom for ‘sexual stimulation’.
But when he tried to remove the 8cm by 6cm drinking vessel, it broke and sharp pieces of glass were left scattered inside him.
SEX TOYS FOR THE ANUS: ARE THEY SAFE?
There are a range of sexual toys designed specifically for the anus of men and women available on the market.
This is because the anus is much more sensitive and requires smoother objects to enter it for stimulation.
All objects designed for anal sex also have a flared base which prevents it from ever getting sucked inside by the anus’ very strong muscles.
But people have long experimented with different objects in their anus, which risk their health.
In an online forum, doctors warn that anal masturbation with appropriate toys or fingers is fine, but other objects can tear tissue and even lead to a perforated colon.
Other doctors warn of an anal sphincter injury leading to incontinence.
Dr Michael Brady, medical director at Terrence Higgins Trust, previously said: ‘Sex toys and other objects can be a safe and enjoyable part of a healthy sex life but it’s important to use common sense when choosing an object.
‘Anything with sharp edges or made of glass can shatter and tear the internal lining, which can cause injury and infections, as well as giving viruses an easier route into the body.
‘Anything that is inserted into the body should be smooth, non-fragile and easily retrievable.’
