Woman’s ‘UTI’ was actually glass tumbler lodged in bladder for 4 years

The 45-year-old had come to the hospital complaining of typical lower UTI (urinary tract infection) symptoms, such as leaking.

But doctors were left stunned when scans revealed there was a glass inside her bladder.

It was encased by an 8cm-wide (3-inch-wide) bladder stone, which are normally so small they are hard to see with the naked eye.

I don’t think that’s a very effective IUD.

8cm-wide (3-inch-wide) bladder stone, which are normally so small they are hard to see with the naked eye.

Even at almost 72, I don't have any trouble seeing things that are 3-inches wide.

Also, I had to use "self-inflicted" catheters for a while and I can't imagine inserting something 3-inches round in there.

That having been said, I prefer the "self-inflicted" kind over the kind that are inserted and inflated to stay in place. Hurts just to think about it.

Bladder stones are normally hard to see with the naked eye.

There's nothing normal about this situation.

I had a male patient come in the ED with a vibrator (still vibrating) in his rectum...by the time we got him in the procedure room and had him sedated, it had stopped vibrating. But it took a while to lasso it using a colonoscope and a snare as it kept traveling up the colon. It took us about 25-30 minutes of maneuvering to be able to grab it and pull it out. The guy claimed he was in town on business and met a woman in a bar...and it was her idea to shove the vibrator up his poop chute. Begged us not to tell his wife...of course, we can’t tell her because of HIPPA. Usually, these cases turn out okay...as long as the vibrator doesn’t stay in so long that the battery starts leaking.

Yeah, no American woman would do something like that ever…. /sarc

[Nachoman]

How do you even fit a shot glass in a urethra??

I don't know, but when I was in the hospital, they shoved a catheter up me the size of a garden hose.

There was one here some years ago about a gal of similar physical proportions who was caught smuggling drugs and a grenade inside a tennis ball can up her hoo-ha. I just can’t imagine.

[AFPhys]

Agreed... I don’t see how this can possibly have occurred in any non-surgical manner.

Shoot... most people find it tough to take an 8mm or so catheter up their urethra!

It's amazing, the high quality people you can meet in a Manilla bar.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Now how do you get a glass that size into your bladder?

[Phoenix8]

I must see her photo….

It's amazing, the high quality people you can meet in a Manilla bar.

There are a lot of things I have read in my life, but high-class in the same sentence with "a Manilla bar" has to take the prize. Cognitive dissonance and all that.

[Hattie]

Sorry don’t believe this one.

Shot glass through the ______ and you’re to blame
You give sex a bad name!

[Blueflag]

Exactly.

More like a tumbler in her vagina or rectum.

I know people who worked in an ER, and they make lists of things that have been removed from places they ought not to have been. Every ER is probably the same in that regard.

[Trillian]

There is a show called, “sex sent me to the er”. It had a story about someone that got a vibe stuck in their bladder and another did the same thing with a lizard.

[Organic Panic]

And it got there HOW?
