Brief Answer:
Followup.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query.

It is possible that the plastic may be lodged in the wall of your rectum. it may not move without being surgically assessed.

I would recommend that you see a gastroenterologist or general surgeon who can remove the plastic with a minor procedure called sigmoidoscopy.

I would not encourage you to manually try to remove the plastic because you could inadvertently push it deeper Into the rectim.

Thanks again for the query.

Sincerely,

Dr Galamaga
