Is Presence Of A Foreign Object In The Rectum Harmful?
Hi, so small-circular container that is plastic got stuck in my rectum. I need to know immediately the seriousness of a small object like this stuck far up the rectum, it can not be felt, there is no discomfort, or any other symptoms. This situation just occurred however, I am hoping that by tomorrow there s a possibility it will come out just by pooping. Also I need to know how serious this is does it need to be removed? I tried to get it out myself but I believe it is now further up my rectum and it cannot be reached. Need help as soon as possible.

Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that any foreign body in the human system can be harmful, you can wait to poop and will be your responsibility to confirm that object is out of system. Be careful if you get any infection or fever.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
