NDTV
The doctors at Habib Bourguiba University Hospital in Tunisian city of Sfax had to perform a cystolithotomy to remove the glass tumbler.
A woman from Tunisia, who went to the doctors complaining of urinary tract infection (UTI), was shocked to know that there was a glass tumbler stuck in her bladder for four years. The 45-year-old went to the hospital complaining of UTI symptoms, like leaking, requiring her to always needing the toilet.
But a scan of the woman's bladder revealed a large bladder stone with a glass encased. The doctors said that the stone was a “giant” 8-cm wide that completely encased what appeared to be a drinking glass. The woman's identity has not been revealed.
According to New York Post, the woman told the doctors that she had used the drinking glass as a sex toy four years ago. The report further said that she had inserted the glass tumbler into the urethra instead of the vagina.
The woman's case has been published in a medical journal Science Direct, which also carried the scan and the images of the glass and the stone encasing.
