Mesa woman has to have vibrator surgically removed

[47of74]

Somehow a Mesa, Arizona woman got a vibrator stuck in her bladder.

She was talking about her new Vesper Vibrator Necklace by the company Crave. She wore the sex toy around her neck out to dinner with her boyfriend, then used it with him when they got home earlier this month. She was only using it on the outside of her body as intended.

“I moved and out of nowhere I just felt a really sharp pain,” she said. The vibrator was nowhere to be found. “Where is it? And he like…didn’t know,” she said, about the moment she and her boyfriend knew something was wrong.

“The emergency room staff wasn’t able to find it in the vagina,” said OBGYN Dr. Greg Marchand. The emergency room staff called in Dr. Marchand to take a look, and he was shocked by what he found on the x-ray and inside her body.

“I was really surprised when I’m looking in the abdomen and realizing this device is actually in the bladder,” Dr. Marchand said. “I’ve never seen a case like this in my entire career.” They realized the device had actually entered her body through her urethra and went into her bladder, lodging itself sideways. They had to surgically remove it.

So hopefully both will happen.

4. Certainly adds a new dimention to the term of "freak accident".

5. We're missing a big part of the story here

NO WAY did a device just "slip up the urethra"...no way.

6. ER staff have some crazy stories about objects in body orifices

7. They surely do. If there is a hole, someone...

...will stick something in it.

...in the Emergency Department of the hospital that was part of my university. One morning, I could tell something was up. One of the surgical residents was trying to write up an injury chart while attempting to keep a straight face and word things carefully.

A man in his fifties had sneaked into his sister’s apartment the middle of the night and given himself a fairly serious injury attempting to pleasure himself with her vacuum cleaner. It was a Sears model that, I kid you not, had the peculiar name of the Beater Bar Power Mate.

The female urethra is very small, both in length and circumference. It would hurt like hell to insert anything in it.

9. catheter size

actually if you measure the device it is about the diameter of a 36 french catheter, really alot skinnier than anything else on the market (outside of urethral sounding) so it actually is plausible.

10. I've had the misfortune to have to self-

-cath many years ago for a temporary condition. It’s certainly not something I would chose as a leisure/pleasurable activity.

11. That's only part of story

A 36F catheter is freaking huge. She would have had to have dilated the urethra previously. It wouldn't just "slip" up the urethra

12. The vibrator is 1/2 inch in diameter and 3.6" long.

The diameter of woman's urethra is about a 1/4 of an inch and about 2 inches long.

13. I first thought the title read as: Mensa woman has to have vibrator surgically removed.
