Medical Must-See: Man swallows banana-filled condom during ‘hormonal rage’
US doctors say the case is the first of its kind in the realm of condom-related intestinal obstructions.
It’s bananas what some patients will swallow or insert, subsequently earning themselves a trip to ED.
Quite literally in one recent case, a US patient ingested a condom full of the elongated fruit during an episode of “hormonal rage”.
The man, aged 34, had a history of depression but was otherwise healthy.
He presented to ED several hours after the onset of progressively worsening, non-radiating, generalised abdominal pain with nausea and non-bloody emesis.
