A 29-year-old tourist visiting Israel had to undergo a procedure to remove a dildo from her bladder after accidentally inserting it into the wrong hole.
The woman presented herself at the emergency department of Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem suffering from discomfort while urinating and abdominal pain.
She told doctors that during sex she accidentally inserted a crystal dildo into her urethra - the tube that allows urine to leave the body.
Although she spent "several hours" trying to remove the object, which was almost 10 cm long and 2.5 cm wide, she was unsuccessful.
The case was published in the journal Urology Case Reports.

The woman underwent an ultrasound and an X-ray, which showed that the dildo was stuck, horizontally, in her bladder.
She was given intravenous antibiotics, and then the doctors performed a cystoscopy - a procedure in which a long thin tube, with a small camera attached to the end, is inserted through the urethra.
While the patient was under general anesthesia, doctors passed a surgical tool called a 'gripper' through this tube to pull the dildo from her bladder.
The woman was released the same day after the doctors confirmed that she could urinate normally.
Doctors believe it is the "widest object" ever removed in this way - with the previous record being a 2.4cm wide object.

Medical reports show that a variety of objects have been expelled from the urinary tract, and doctors often have to perform 'improvisational' techniques to remove them, the doctors wrote.
Along with the patient's complaints about difficulties urinating and abdominal pain, other symptoms can include blood in the urine, inability to urinate and swelling of the genitals.
Case reports indicate that only about half of cases can be resolved with cystoscopy, with the more dangerous cases—such as those with a larger object or involving an older patient—requiring surgery.
