I lost my anal beads in my rectum. Should I be worried or will they come out on their own?

I would recommend that you drink some coffee, eat some raisin bran, or try to move your bowels before going to have them removed as this may allow the beads to come out on their own. If you produce a bowel movement and they do come out then it would be necessary to have them removed as this can cause infection or bleeding to set in.

I would not wait longer then 24 hours if you produce a bowel movement as infection can set in rather fast and it can cause tearing as well. So I would not wait any longer then that.
