I'm curious what are the risks if a lidoderm 5% patch is inserted rectally and won't come out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rectal foreign body: Is not uncommon in emergency rooms in US. The foreign body needs to be removed without delay to prevent future complications. Rec. See your PCP for the proper referral.
