Suggest Remedies For A Small Object Stuck In My Anus

This is really embarrassing but I inserted a small object (cuboidal, 1 inch at most along the longest side with rounded edges and corners) into my anus a few hours ago but I can t get it out, I don t want to go to the ER and I don t want to tell anybody at home about it because it is so embarrassing, I will only go if I need to. Is there any way I can get it out? Preferably just laxatives or something but I m really worried and scared that this might be a really serious thing, should I maybe just leave it to come out on it s own. If it doesn t come out in a few days I will go to the ER.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
welcome to Health care magic.
1.If you feel of embarrassing it could be life threatening, so better see the ER as soon as possible.
2.An x-ray has to be done to see the position of the object if its facing towards opening and then laxative cane be given.
3.As you said there are sharp corners, you need to worry about that it can cause rupture / penetration which is more dangerous.
4.In ER with the help of a sets it can be removed easily if its in the reachable distance.
5.Dont worry, nobody remembers you in ER, Go before it turns in to complications.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
