A man suffering from ‘constipation’ turned out to have a running vibrator in his large intestine.

Unsurprisingly the patient, who remained anonymous, had been reluctant to tell doctors the reason for his discomfort when visiting a hospital in Fresno, California.

But after an X-ray it became apparent he had been up to something strange in the bedroom.

‘We could see, perfectly, a large object that was lodged in the large intestine,’ said nurse Stevey Pope, who treated the man.


‘This is the first time I’ve encountered a running vibrator still inside somebody.’

It was later revealed by the man’s wife the dildo had become stuck after they ‘got adventurous’.



‘Things got out of control and the vibrator got lost inside him,’ Pope added.

The nurse said if the vibrator had not been removed the man could have suffered a number of problems, including internal bleeding.

It’s the latest incident detailed on TV show Sex Sent Me To The ER, which airs on TLC.
