Sometimes certain symptoms can be embarrassing and delay the time to go to the doctor. That was precisely what happened to a man who went to the hospital after two years experiencing anal ejaculation. Yes, yes, the semen did not come out of its place, but something further back.
In addition, the patient had experienced other symptoms, such as a severe testicular pain; which, in fact, was the one that finally pushed him to ask for help. There were also times when urine came out of his anus. And that urine was sometimes accompanied by gas or fecal matter. She excreted everything where it wasn’t.
Finally, the doctors at the hospital, who have just described the case in the journal cureusthey found the cause: a fistula that had connected the urethra and rectum, causing an unpleasant exchange of fluids and solids. Fortunately, it was resolved without any problems. However, we can be sure that the poor man will not forget everything that has happened in these two years.
An embarrassing anal ejaculation to confess
The patient, of 33 yearswent to University Hospital of Texas after five days suffering severe testicular pain.
Once there, he had no choice but to recognize the anal ejaculation and the rest of the symptoms that he had experienced in the last two years, without daring to confess them.
The first medical examination showed that one of his testicles it was swollen. But that didn’t explain all the symptoms. He also suffered from urine infection and, when performing a digital examination, they saw a defect in the rectal wall.
They still didn’t have the clue to put all the pieces together, so they opted for a CT scan. And there was the key, because thanks to it they could see that everything was due to a fistula. It is known as an abnormal connection between two organs. It can be due to many reasons, from stress to infection, surgery or inflammation.
In his case, it seemed that he had generated a channel between the anus and the urethra. But why? It was necessary to search his medical history to find the problem.
They knew from the start that it had been drug addict. So much so that two years ago, just before the symptoms began, he had remained in a coma for three weeksdue to poisoning cocaine and angel dust. During that time, a catheter was placed to extract urine and it was possibly this that generated the fistula that had led to anal ejaculation and the rest of the symptoms.
A happy ending
Fortunately for the patient, this story had a happy ending. Once the origin of the symptoms was discovered, he was given a treatment based on antibiotics and the fistula was repaired surgically.
Thus, a few months later, all the symptoms had disappeared, including the anal ejaculation and the rest of the fluids excreted out of place.
His case is a curious medical example; but, according to the authors of the study, it is also a wake-up call for health professionals regarding the placement of catheters, such as the Foley, which was used with this patient. They are necessary, the solution is not in not putting them. However, they advise following up with patients to ensure that everything has gone well. And, of course, it is also a wake-up call to the rest of the population. If you experience that something in your body is not going well, however embarrassing it may be, you better go to the doctor.
