How To Remove Golf Ball Stuck In Anus?
Question: Hi,
I misguidedly inserted a golf ball into my anus and I think it is stuck. I can feel it with my pointer and middle finger but can't force it out right now. If I wait will I just poop it out?

Dear Ms
Golf ball is unlikely to result in any damage to anus or rectum. As the ball can be felt, I would suggest you not to try to manipulate it or remove it as it will push the golf ball deep inside. Its highly likely that spontaneous expulsion without intervention will be painful. Majority of times the ball gets impacted and unlikley to be passed spontaneously. I would suggest you to consult your Primary care Physician or Surgeon. Extraction by Foley's Catheter technique is quite easy and feasable.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Hypothetically, If I was to take a laxative would that hurt or help the situation?

Laxatives will not be helpful as the impacted gulf ball needs to be removed. Laxatives may cause cramp like abdominal pain in presence of impacted foreign body.
