A woman had to have a dildo removed from her bladder after accidentally inserting it into the wrong hole.
The 29-year-old from Israel went to an emergency room complaining of difficulty urinating and abdominal pain.
She revealed that during sex she accidentally inserted a crystal dildo into her urethra – the tube that allows urine to leave the body.
Although she spent “a few hours” removing the object, which was almost 10cm long and 2.5cm wide, she was unable to retrieve it.

The patient underwent an ultrasound and X-ray (photo) which showed that the 9 x 2.5 cm (3.5 x 1 inch) dildo was placed horizontally in her bladder
Doctors from the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem treated the woman, who has not been identified.
The medics believe it is the “widest object” ever removed in this way – the previous record was 2.4cm wide.
The woman underwent an ultrasound and x-ray which showed the dildo lying horizontally in her bladder.
Medics administered antibiotics through an IV to the woman who inserted the dildo for “sexual gratification.”
They performed a cystoscopy – a procedure in which a long, thin tube with a tiny camera at the end is inserted through the urethra – in an attempt to remove it.
While the patient was under general anesthesia, doctors inserted a surgical instrument called a “grabber” through the tube to pull the dildo out of her bladder through her urethra.
The woman was released the same day after doctors confirmed she was urinating normally.
In the journal Urology Case Reports, the medical team writes that foreign bodies in the urinary tract – such as in the urethra and bladder – are “fairly rare”.
This is usually the result of complacency, “curiosity” or a mental disorder, they said.
Medical reports show that a “various” series of objects have been removed from the urinary tract, and doctors are often forced to use “temporary” techniques to remove them, the doctors wrote.
In addition to the patient’s complaints of difficulty urinating and abdominal pain, other symptoms may include blood in the urine, inability to urinate, and swollen genitalia.
Case reports suggest that only about half of cases can be resolved by cystoscopy, with the riskier cases—such as those with a larger object or with an elderly patient—requiring surgery.
