A man was in critical condition after after stuffing 15 hard-boiled eggs up his bottom while high on drugs.

The 29-year-old man from the Netherlands, who has not been identified, was under the influence of GHB, a common date rape drug, when he started boiling the eggs with his partner.

When the were cooked he peeled them and decided to put them into his bottom, according to the Dutch Magazine for Healthcare.

He started getting stomach pains later that night and went straight to hospital

One of the doctors said: "Upon arrival the patient had tachycardia [a heartbeat of 120 beats per minute] and tachypnoea [29 rapid breaths per minute].

"Physical examinations showed abdominal guarding over the entire stomach."

Doctors carried out a CT scan as they suspected abdominal sepsis , and found a perforation of the pelvic colon and a huge amount of air and fluids in his abdominal cavity.

They decided it would be necessary to do an emergency laparotomy, a surgical procedure involving a large incision through the abdominal wall to gain access into the abdominal cavity.

The doctor said: "The eggs were removed as well as we could and the abdominal cavity was thoroughly rinsed."

The eggs caused a giant rapture of the gastrointestinal wall, which was sewn up by the doctors.

The doctor said: "After the operation, the patient was monitored in intensive care for a short time.

"After several days he could leave the hospital in a clinically good condition."
