A 22-year-old woman sustained serious injuries after a sex toy she had inserted was violently pulled through her body during an MRI scan at a US hospital.

The incident occurred when the powerful magnets of the MRI machine reacted with a metal core within the "butt plug," which the patient mistakenly believed was made entirely of silicone.

The MRI scanner’s magnetic force dragged the object from her rectum further into her body, reportedly causing it to enter her chest cavity and inflicting significant injuries.

A graphic image of the incident, shared online by Twitter user @DreadPirateZero, warned others of the dangers, captioning: "Never wear a butt plug to your MRI appointment. My God."

According to a health department report, the woman had not disclosed the presence of the sex toy before the scan, as she believed it contained no metal.

During the procedure, as the table was being pulled out, the patient began screaming in pain.

She reported feeling nauseous, experiencing severe discomfort, and nearly losing consciousness.

Emergency services were called, and the woman was transported to the hospital.

Despite initial medical follow-ups, she has not responded to further inquiries about her recovery.

Radiographers typically screen patients for metal objects before an MRI scan due to the extreme power of the machine's magnets, which can interact dangerously with any metallic items.

In this case, the patient’s failure to disclose the sex toy’s presence led to the unforeseen accident.

The incident is one of several severe accidents involving MRI machines in recent years.

In January 2023, a man was injured after the MRI’s magnet caused his concealed firearm to discharge, shooting him in the abdomen.

Medical professionals are urging patients to fully disclose any foreign objects or implants before undergoing scans, as even seemingly harmless items may contain hidden metal components that could result in serious harm.
