Anorectal foreign bodies can either be ingested orally or inserted anally. Although
the vast majority are inserted for autoerotic purposes, they may have been placed
iatrogenically, or as a result of assault or trauma. Ingested objects are rarely a
cause of entrapped foreign bodies. Most often these are bones that become impaled
in the anal canal. Iatrogenic foreign bodies include thermometers, enema tips, and
catheters. Objects placed as a result of assault, trauma, or eroticism represent a
diverse collection, including sex toys; tools and instruments; bottles, cans, and
jars; poles; pipes and tubing; fruits and vegetables; stones; balls; balloons; umbrellas;
light bulbs; and flashlights.
