How To Remove A Foreign Object From The Anus?

How to get something out that is stuck in your ass? it's a 6 inch long hard plastic. about 2 inch or 3 wide. it's smooth. I can stick my finger in my ass and feel it. Don't say go to the hospital cause that the last option. How much will it cost if you do go to the hospital. I have insurance. How long will I be there. Will I be able to walk out after it.

Hello!
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

As a general rule, most people who have a foreign object in their rectum that cannot be seen or felt outside the anus need to seek medical attention.
Most laxatives are too slow in onset to be effective. If a rectal foreign body is present, the sooner it is removed the better.

I am sorry to tell this but you should go to hospital because since you have tried to pull the object out and you have failed,now it is not recommended to try other dangerous methods at home,you can injure the rectum or you can push the object higher into the colon while attempting to remove it.

I suggest to go to ER as soon as possible because prompt removal is advisable.
Now you should think about your health and don't put yourself in danger.You should think that the doctors see cases like yours or worse every day.
Delayed removal of rectal foreign bodies can lead to severe complications, including the following:perforation ,peritonitis ,infection,mucosal ulcerations, obstruction ,bleeding.

Hope my answer has helped.
Take care and good luck.
