The patient turned up to A+E complaining of pain in his stomach.

Doctors quickly ran a few X-rays to investigate.

And despite it being a place where the sun doesn't shine, scans returned to reveal the shining light stuck inside him.

When asked about the incident, the Chinese man, only identified by his surname, Cai, refused to give doctors any details.

And unsurprisingly, the 10in object wasn't easy to remove either.

Surgeons – who believe it had been used as a sex toy – took two hours operating on the man at the Guangzhou University hospital.

It is believed the item had been inside him for more than a day – which must have been torchure (sorry).

Yet local reports suggested it may not have been part of a strange lighting sex game – and instead the end result of a dispute in a karaoke bar.

Dr Sun, of the university hospital, said: "The foreign object had been in the patient’s rectum for 27 hours."Any longer and it could have caused potentially fatal swelling and blockages."

But the medical expert said he wasn't too surprised by the find.

He openly added: "In the 10 years I’ve been operating on cases such as these, I have only seen one object that was larger - a cucumber stuck in the anus of a chef."

Despite thinking he'd make a quick in and out trip, the patient will now recover in hospital for the next two days under observation.

What a pain in the a***.
