Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. It is probable that when trying to get the ball out, unintentionally you have pushed it more upwards causing it to get impacted in the rectum.

2. In this situation it is recommended that you go to your nearest emergency room and get it out with the help of doctors. They will do a x ray of pelvis and remove the ball causing least discomfort and with minimum complications.

3. Please do not be embarrassed because such happenings are very common and you are not alone.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
