Object Stuck in Anus: What to Do and When to Seek Help
Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

I put something in my anus, and now I'm not sure if it's still inside or if it's out. I tried to remove it, but I can't tell for sure.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

It’s possible that the object may come out on its own when you have a bowel movement. However, if you are unable to remove it or if you experience pain, discomfort, or bleeding, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately. Avoid inserting anything else, and if you’re concerned, don’t hesitate to visit a healthcare provider for assistance.

Thanks
