capital Cities – The story of a 54-year-old patient from Manaus was so unusual that it deserves a case report published in the scientific platform International Journal of Surgery Case Reports on Wednesday (6/4).
The patient sought medical service in the capital of Amazonas, where he reported stomach pain, nausea, and difficulty with evacuation. He said he had been experiencing symptoms for two days but did not provide details of what could be the cause of the condition.
On an x-ray, the doctors found a weight of two kilograms, and a length of about 20 centimeters, like those used in gyms for arm exercises, inside the man.
The dumbbells were between the rectum and the large intestine of the patient, who, after examination, admitted that he had inserted the weight of the gym into his body for sexual gratification.

To remove the body from the patient, the team anesthetized the man. At first, doctors tried to pull out the dumbbells with surgical forceps, but since it was not possible to control it, the removal had to be done by a surgeon manually. After three days of hospitalization, the patient was discharged in good health.
In the case report, doctors remember the importance of a careful approach by health professionals in such situations. According to them, because of embarrassment, the patient often does not reveal the origin of the problem.
