This xray is reminiscent though far less impressive than a bladder stone I saw back in the early eighties. The delighted doctor was walking down a hospital corridor carrying a bisected bladder stone he’d just removed from a psychiatric patient. Clearly visible dead center of the stone was a rusty sewing needle. The psych hospital had sent the patient over when he’d developed urinary incontinence due to the stone totally filling the bladder, leaving only enough room for constant leakage. I think your imagination can fill you in on how the needle got there.
I appreciate the link.

That is so strange…and I can’t understand how the needle got there?

The patient was self stimulating by inserting needle into themself and it slipped up into their bladder.

Haha, I get it now! I understand that embarrassing doctor visits involving very small ring shaped items and/or Coke bottles occur with some frequency also… 😆

Oh yes. And you wouldn’t believe how easily items can jump up your butt!

I learned that in a little too much detail from an acquaintance you don’t necessarily want to know any more about. I understand if there’s no cap on the bottle it establishes suction, and you can’t exactly break the bottle safely, so you just have to wait for SOMETHING to eventually give! I guess the whole process, for him, required two weeks… 😱🤣

It’s a wonder it ever passed. He needs to measure diameter of his object choice!

I’d guess he’d developed a certain tolerance for muscular expansion by that time, and was going for the ultimate thrill.

You hear of kidney stones are much more common.
