How Can A Stick Tampon In Rectum Be Removed With Or Without Medical Assistance?

default
Posted on Fri, 20 Oct 2023
Question: Hello Sir,
Due to an enema I think a tampon is stuck inside the Sigmoid Colon (or even more far up..). and it has not come out yet and I am really freaking out. I fear that it had travelled up with the water that was in my colon and now it won't come out again...
Do I need to go to the hospital or should I wait for the next bowel movement?
Thank you so much for answering but I am so ashamed...

Hi,
The problem is that it was done for the crazy sexual pleasure of my boyfriend. He inserted the end of a shower hose into my rectum and let the water flow until I told him that I felt full. After that he inserted a tampon in my rectum to „make it easier to hold“... But I guess he pushed it in too hard and the tampon got lost because the string was inside of me as well. He promised me that nothing will happen...
Thank you for the answer.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
First of all stop worrying.
Which enema did you take? A ready made small one or prepared at home?
Why would tampon be at anal area?
Do you have any symptoms?

If in doubt it is better to go to a Hospital. An X-ray may show up if there is anything.
Also watch for the stools.

Please give feedback.
Take care.

Watch the stools - if it contains tampon well and good. If not please visit a Hospital as retained tampon can cause problems.
