A teenage girl was hospitalized after a medical emergency caused by the misuse of a household item. Alone at the time, she suffered internal injuries and bleeding, requiring emergency surgery. Fortunately, doctors were able to stabilize her.
Medical professionals warn this could have led to serious complications, including infection or lasting damage. They’re using the case to highlight the dangers of inserting inappropriate objects into the body and the need for proper health education.
