After undergoing a scan, doctors discovered she had a tumble inside her which the woman admitted inserting for "erotic purposes" some years prior.

As a result, she had grown an eight-centimetre bladder stone that was causing her urinary tract infection. These things are often not big enough to be seen or just a few centimetres wide.
Unlike kidney stones which are caused by a lack of fluids, these lumps of minerals form when urine isn't full drained from the bladder; however, as this unlucky lady found out, they can also be caused by foreign bodies. [caption id="attachment_323744" align="alignnone" width="2048"]

After x-rays noted the large obstruction and further analysis found that she had higher traces of blood cells in her urine than normal, a cystolithotomy was carried out. The patient made a full recovery two days later.
The tumbler can be seen inside the cracked bladder stone below.
A sensible reminder to be careful when experimenting in the bedroom.
