Surgeons at an Aberdeen hospital were left stunned when they X-rayed a patient and found a sex toy inside her that had been there for 10 years.

A 38-year-old woman went to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary after experiencing a variety of bizarre symptons, including rapid and severe weight loss, constant lethargy and uncontrollable shaking.

Baffled medics put her through an x-ray and spotted a five-inch long oval object – which they found to be a sex toy that the woman claims not to have used in over a decade.

The sex toy, which was protruding into the woman’s bladder from her vagina, had caused her to suffer from rare ‘vesicovaginal fistula’, where urine is allowed to flow into the vagina.




And doctors were surprised that, although the woman admitted to being drunk when she and her partner used the toy, she had no recollection of whether it had been removed.

The case was reported in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, where it was noted that this was the first time a sex toy has been left inside a woman for that length of time.
