If you start pissing out of your ass and passing gas through your penis, that seems pretty messed up and you should probably get that checked out.
However, one 33-year-old man – whose identity and location (fortunately for him) remains unknown – decided to wait two years before telling doctors that things weren't working like should be.
According to a research article published by scientists last month, with the incredible title of ‘A Curious Case of Rectal Ejaculation’, “A 33-year-old male with a history of illicit drug use presented with five days of testicular pain. He also noted a substantial amount of urine and sperm passage from his rectum in addition to pneumaturia and fecaluria for the past two years.”
For the record, pneumaturia and fecaluria relate to gas and faeces in a person’s urine respectively. Analysis of the poor soul’s urine appeared to suggest a urinary tract infection, while a CT scan of his pelvis revealed swelling in his left testicular tube and a “gas-filled structure” in his prostate which was communicating with his rectum.
The finding of the gassy structure led scientists to believe he had a “chronic appearing rectal-prostate fistula”, before this was confirmed with a special x-ray known as a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG). That’s medical jargon for the two organs being linked up in a way that, obviously, isn’t normal at all.
The
article goes on to state that the individual was in a three-week
comatose state as a result of being intoxicated with cocaine and the
hallucinogenic drug, phencyclidine. A catheter was used during that
hospitalisation, which caused “significant trauma”, the researchers
write. Thankfully, a surgical
procedure resolved the issue, and the patient “recovered with only
mildly reduced antegrade ejaculatory volume over several months”. Whatever that means-- let's move on.
