Emergency physicians consistently warn that inserting non-medical objects into the body can lead to serious complications, including:
- Internal cuts or abrasions
- Rectal or bowel perforation
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Severe pain
- Long-term digestive issues
Doctors stress that embarrassment should never prevent someone from seeking help. Early medical intervention greatly reduces the risk of complications and the need for surgery.
