What Causes Abdominal Pain?
Question: I used a large fisting dildo in my rectum three days ago. Upon removal there was blood which stopped and did not recur. I felt the dildo briefly enter the sigmoid colon and backed off immediately. Now I have a sore abdomen but I still pass gas and fecal matter normally. I do not have a fever nor do I feel nauseous. I am afraid I may have torn my colon and do not want an infection...
Brief Answer:
Consulting surgeon important in view of sore abdomen
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Its important to consult a surgeon and get clinical examination done in detail to exclude any serious bowel injury including perforation of bowel.
Bowel perforation may be excluded by doing simple tests like X ray erect abdomen. This is important because a bowel perforation may remain silent initially. Though simple injury to bowel wall is what you most likely encountered, I would recommend a visit to your surgeon as you already complain of a sore abdomen.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Would you recommend the emergency room? I live in the US and know of no surgeon who deals in this area. Also the wait time for new patients to see a surgeon can be up to a month long.
