A man has been left rather red-faced and quite sore after a drunken mistake led to a pretty embarrassing trip to the hospital where doctors found something incredibly bizarre.
Most of us will have a drunken tale or two that we aren't massively proud of, but they're usually fairly harmless like texting an ex that you miss them or falling over at the bar.
But sometimes things can go a little too far and it's the next day when the alcohol has left your system that the consequences of the night before hit you like a train.
A 47-year-old Nepalese man had one of these experiences, resulting in him requiring surgery after a glass became lodged in his rectum.
According to the Journal of Nepal Medical Centre, the man arrived at the emergency department seeking help claiming that it had been lodged for three days.
The 47-year-old had been unable to have a bowel movement since the glass became stuck, but he was able to pass wind and unsurprisingly was in a lot of pain.
But how did the glass get there in the first place? After initially telling medical staff that it had found its way inside of him due to an accident, he eventually came clean and said that he got intoxicated and placed it up there himself for sexual gratification.
After a few unsuccessful attempts at retrieving it, he decided that he needed medical help and an X-ray revealed the full extent of the issue.
It would seem that doctors struggled to get a grasp on the glass too as it had become inverted, so they decided that opening the 47-year-old's abdomen in surgery was the only way.
Apologies if you're eating, but they used a technique called exploratory laparotomy and then attempted to "milk" the glass out by squeezing the small intestine.
Unfortunately, "milking" the glass also proved to be unsuccessful as the glass was pretty far up so doctors performed a sigmoid enterostomy which is where an incision is made to the intestine and doctors retrieved the glass.
Naturally, the man needed a fair amount of recovery time from the ordeal and he remained in the hospital for a further week as medical staff kept an eye on him.
Two months after the incident, he was declared fully recovered although it's presumed that the memory of the ordeal will live with him for a long time.
It goes without saying, drink responsibly for your safety and lower the risk of needing invasive surgery like this unfortunate man.
