SJ Sylvester,

Depending on the shape of the sex toy and the size, it may not have passed with the stool.

Does your belly distended unusually so? Do you have abdominal pain? How long has it been since this ocurred do you think?

I await your reply.

SJ Sylvester,

It sounds like you are pretty sure that t may still be in your body....that being the case, it certainly does have the potential for causing a bowel obstruction or perforation of your bowel both of which are very serious.

If it hasn't passed by now, then your abdominal discomfort may be further indication that it may cause problems and probably won't come out on it's own.

I know that this is embarrassing, but I've had a few cases presenting to the hospital E.R. and the staff are very compassionate and caring and behave in a confidential manner.

I would suggest that you talk to your doctor or go to the emergency room. They can easily do an xray or an ultrasound to confirm whether you have still retained the toy.

Thanks for trusting me with your concerns and I would be happy to answer any further concerns you may have.
