It’s a banner week for people breaking medical records. The latest accomplishment is from a 38-year-old Scottish woman who checked herself into a hospital complaining of what the Daily Mail reports as “severe weight loss, shaking and lethargy” in addition to “mild incontinence for ‘a few weeks.’”
Upon further examination, doctors determined that a foreign object was wreaking havoc on her body and pushing into her bladder from within her vagina. That object turned out to be a 5-inch long sex toy the woman inserted while intoxicated over a decade ago and just forgot about after the fact. The lost sex toy caused urine to back up into the kidneys as well as urine to flow into the vagina.
Although the attending surgeons are undoubtedly relieved to find an easy answer to a life-threatening medical condition, they are certainly baffled by how the woman could just go about her life completely unaware that a foreign object was lodged in a confined space known for its pronounced sensitivity. Chalk it up to the rich and well-documented emergency room tradition of foreign objects lost inside body cavities.
The Journal of Sexual Medicine is reporting that this is the longest that a sex toy has been left inside a woman, so it looks like congratulations are in order. However, the record for a non-sex toy foreign object being lodged inside a vagina is 35 years, but we can’t imagine that’s a title anyone is actively vying to upset.
