“Did I screw up real bad?”
17/male, straight, was curious one day and decided to insert 7 or 8 (Don't recall, it was late at night and I wasn't thinking clearly) small 2.5cm-diameter Styrofoam balls up my anus. They went in quite deep, a few going past the bend. I managed to retrieve 7 of them, but I'm not sure if 1 is still stuck. I did not make any trips to the toilet for 3 days, and when I finally did, the amount that came out was below what I'd consider normal, and appeared to have a thicker, pasty texture. Farting is not as frequent either. I have not experienced any pain throughout this ordeal, as of writing this. I am panicking because I do not want my parents to find out, and my health could be at risk due to 1. The toxicity of Styrofoam and it possibly being in contact with a body part that is exposed to the blood stream, and 2. The possible blockage of my intestine. What do I do?

Hello, I think you should probably try and make an appointment so the Dr can evaluate you. It's good that you're not experiencing any pain, but any foreign bodies may cause other problems. Please contact our office to make an appointment. Thank you
Even if you did not retrieve all the balls, they will eventually pass out in the stool and will not harm your intestines.
