Well it all returns to normal afterwards! And it's a tad embarassing to go to a doctor and be like my ass turns inside out. Just wondering if you are indeed a source of valuable information, if maybe you could stop satirizing people's bowel problems and offering sound advice. Isn't this the serious section after all?

he's probably got lots of ass grapes too!!!

Sweet Holy Moses!!!

Has the Flying W ever heard of the word prolapse?

About 10 years ago we used to hang out with this dude who used to tell us that he had a nasty hemorrhoid.

One night we were all drunk and he mooned us; this thing in his ass was so crazy it looked like he had a four inch pink dick growing out of his asshole.

After seeing that, I can believe anything.

Doniker - I'm pleased you were drunk. If you had been sober that sight might have caused you nightmares.

Hey, W, I just approved your comment, which is why it took a bit to show up, even though it was first.

Let me answer your question "Isn't this the serious section after all?"

First, yes, it is. But, if you take the time to read what Motherload says, she's answering in incredulity, not satire.

W, we received about 100 posts to approve a week from non-registered people asking for medical advice. Not alot of them are approved because the answer to their posts is often above in the thread or page in which they are waiting for approval. The answer will most always be SEE A DOCTOR.

I don't feel Motherload was out of line in taking a light or shocked tone that you'd ask for help if you indeed thought your intestine was falling out instead of calling your doctor. Think about what you've asked. You've asked if a body part that's normally inside could be hanging out, and you took the time to write to a web site mostly dedicated to intellectual poop humor (although we do try to help people) instead of asking a medical doctor or calling a medical help line.

We are greatly aware that there is a butt stigma involved here; no one wants to go to the doctor when it involves such a taboo subject. We field questions daily such as:

I'm bleeding from the anus heavily. Should I see a doctor?

My stool is bloody. What should I do?

I haven't pooped in two weeks. How can I poop?

I haven't pooped in weeks, and now I'm vomiting. What should I do?

and so on........

Some of these questions are so serious that we sit here, moderators of the front page, and scratch our heads, wondering, how we can truly send the information back to this person fast enough. Sometimes an unapproved comment will sit for a couple of hours if no front page mods happen to be online.

In that meantime, the person bleeding from the rectum could become seriously ill, if indeed his or her injury is that bad.

Because you chose to ask a website that is based on humor for medical advice - even though we do try to be serious and help people - you have to understand that even the correct answer (which you received, because what you described could have been serious) may be lightly sprinkled with a bit of humor or jocular shock. After all, you've expected Motherload to correctly diagnose your butt unseen, with her only means of diagnosis being an email. What if she told you "it sounds like an external/internal hemorrhoid, don't worry about it" and then you end up being hospitalized later because she was wrong? Let me ask you this - if a part of your nose came out every time you blew your nose, or a piece of flesh came out of your eye when you sneezed, would you have chosen to sit at home and ask a group on the internet or would you have called your doctor?

If you look at it this way, you may not feel so embarrassed about seeing a proctologist. Remember, you're wouldn't be the only asshole he'd seen that day. No pun intended.

We're glad that you're alright. In fact, that's what we like to hear.

Things like this do exist though.. I have an issue called rectal prolapse, which is literally your rectum coming out a goodly distance.

At first glance, I thought this might of been what he was experiencing. However, I am no doctor.

After rereading, it appears that he said he was drunk..

Anyway, glad you are doing well..

Damn I am glad I never encountered that problem and hope I never will geez. Is there surgery for this type of condition. I can only imagine the discomfort.

The Thunderous Crapper 63 Enjoying home toilet advantage since 2004!

My Dad had a problem where he had an abscess (I assume somewhere in his intestines) that got so large it actually started to protrude out his anus. It actually eventually completely 'blocked it up' and he had to get it lanced at the hospital. It was probably one of the more disgusting things I have heard of. And the doctor's description of what happened when they lanced literally almost made me pass out.

This one struck me along the same vein as "I just got stabbed in the face with a rusty nail...what should I do?!"

Man who stand on toilet seat is high on pot.

I've had what you describe, and I've been checked by doctors. It's just a hemmorhoid! Extremely common, no big deal, when the swelling goes down, it goes back in. Doc says it's helpful to gently push it back in.

Of course, you may have something else going on, but your description sounds just like my minor hemmorhoid problem.

I don't know about you guys, but I would not associate the word "Minor" with the phrase "after i poop my anus remains outside"

There is no fear or shame in seeing a colorectal surgeon. Why suffer? Its not like they have never seen a butt before.

Colorectal Surgeon song

Semi-colon's right. Especially since any decent ass doctor has seen much worse. (I'm thinking about all the stories I hear about the strange things people shove up their butts these days -- some of them are urban legends, but there are pretty odd people out there...)

Folks, I thought Motherload's response was very funny....so funny that it took 20 minutes to clean the diet coke off my desk and keyboard.
daphne,Why the hell would anyone come to PR and expect REAL medical advice? The web has so many other sites where they would get a serious response.I also forget that many people out there do not have the brains to figure out the proper place to go and find real medical information.You Moderators have a strange job with dealing in e-mails that are that serious. My headband is off to you.I figure if you send something to Dave and it gets posted you have a chance of being entertained.

So what is this cause I'm scared as fuck right now cause I have the same thing!

Well let me see...............my urologist sticks telescopes up my weenie......my gastroenterologist sticks hose pipes up my butt. My general practitioner fondles by balls while I cough. Knowing what these
procedures could detect, life threatening
abnormalities, makes them easy to tolerate.
Anyone with an inside out asshole should be happy to let a medical professional look at it with no shame.
