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?

      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
