A patient experienced rectal impaction after self-inserting masonry adhesive for sexual pleasure. The solidified adhesive required surgical removal via laparotomy, highlighting risks of rectal foreign bodies.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Toxicology
  • Sexual Health

Background:

  • Rectal foreign bodies pose significant clinical challenges.
  • Non-medical substances are sometimes inserted rectally for sexual practices.
  • Masonry adhesives are industrial chemicals not intended for internal use.

Observation:

  • A unique case of rectal impaction is presented.
  • The impaction resulted from self-administration of liquid masonry adhesive.
  • The patient sought medical attention due to the severe complication.

Findings:

  • The solidified masonry adhesive formed a large, immovable mass.
  • Laparotomy was necessary for the surgical removal of the rectal foreign body.
  • This case underscores the potential for severe tissue damage and obstruction.
