Q: Have you ever found something old and gross underneath the sofa cushions? Well ... imagine finding something old and gross in a much more delicate place. Surgeons recently found a 10-year-old sex toy in a woman's vagina. She's freakin' lucky to be alive. 
  
 You're probably wondering at this point: How the? What? How did she? How did they? Well, I'm glad you asked. Here's how you end up harboring a sex toy inside your lady cave for a full decade. I think you'll find there's an important lesson for us all to learn from this story. 
  
 Our story begins when the 38-year-old woman came in complaining of severe weight-loss, incontinence, shaking, and lethargy. I don't know how doctors went from those symptoms to "let's look there!" But look they did, and what they found is actually quite sad. The five-inch sex toy lodged in her vagina was protruding into her bladder. She was suffering what's called a fistula. That's an abnormal passage that allows urine to flow into the vagina. And the blockage was also causing urine to flow back into the kidneys. 
  
 This is a potentially life-threatening situation. It could have been worse, though -- the object could have caused an infection. 
  
 Anyway, the woman admitted to doctors that she remembered inserting the toy with a sex partner 10 years ago while intoxicated. She said she hadn't been able to recall if she'd removed it or not. Apparently that's a not. 
  
 The good news is, doctors were able to repair the damage and she is on her way to recovery. Phew! 
  
 So what did we learn? 
  
 1. Don't play with sex toys when you're drunk. 
  
 2. Don't put anything into your vagina while drunk unless it's attached to something else like a rope or a person. 
  
 3. Even then, exercise caution. 
  
 4. Think you left something in there? Maybe investigate a bit. 
  
 5. Still thinking there's a remote possibility that you've left something in there in a place where you can't reach? GET THEE TO A DOCTOR FORTHWITH. 
  
 Have you ever worried about getting something lost or forgotten in your vagina?

 A WOMAN spent 10 years walking around with a five-inch sex toy inside her without realising. 
  
 The 38-year-old arrived at hospital complaining of severe weight loss, shaking and lethargy. She had also experienced mild incontinence for “a few weeks”. 
  
 Doctors were shocked to discover a strange foreign body protruding into her bladder from inside her. 
  
 Surgeons at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary who operated on the woman discovered the item was a five inch sex toy. 
  
 The woman revealed she had used the sex toy with her partner ten years ago. 
  
 She said she had been drunk at the time and couldn’t remember if she removed it or not. 
  
 The sex toy had caused her potentially life-threatening internal damage. 
  
 After removing the sex toy, doctors managed to repair the damage and the woman was later discharged. 
  
 One doctor at the hospital, who was not willing to comment on the patient’s specific case, confirmed it was highly unusual for such a large foreign object to go unnoticed by patients or their 
  
 partners. 
  
 The patient’s case – reported in The Journal of Sexual Medicine – is the first time a sex toy has been left inside a woman for as long as a decade. 
  
 However it’s not the longest time an object has remained hidden inside a woman. 
  
 A review of similar cases uncovered a report of a woman who’d had a foreign object inside her for for 35 years. 
  
 Other bizarre items that have been discovered include a hairspray cap, a cylindrical tin container, a plastic cup and a child’s toy. 
  
 One case study from 2009 even tells how doctors discovered a foreign body inside a 72-year-old woman – but she and the doctors were unable to work out what is was. 
  
 Doctors say people usually deny knowledge of the existence or origin of such items when they are initially discovered, usually due to embarrassment. ||||| After complaining of various health problems, a Scottish woman was found to have a sex toy inside her vagina – and that it had been left there for 10 years. 
  
 According to a report by STV News, the 38-year-old visited Aberdeen Royal Infirmary after contracting sepsis and experiencing severe weight loss and urinary incontinence. At the hospital, doctors conducted an X-ray of her abdomen, which showed the five-inch toy protruding into her bladder from her vagina. 
  
 According to the Daily Mail, the woman admitted to using the sex toy with her partner 10 years ago; she also noted that she had been under the influence of alcohol at the time and could not recall removing the toy. 
  
 After this revelation, the woman was diagnosed with vesicovaginal fistula – a condition that causes urine to flow into the vagina – as well as obstructive uropathy – in which a blockage in the bladder causes urine to back up into the kidneys. Surgeons at Aberdeen successfully removed the sex toy and repaired the near life-threatening damage. 
  
 Detailed in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, the case may be the first time a sex toy has been left inside a woman’s body for such a long time. The longest known retention of a foreign object was 35 years.
