Management of Rectal Foreign Body Impaction in a Female Patient: A Case Report Highlighting Challenges in an African Community Setting: A Case Report

Rectal Foreign Body impaction is an emergency condition that requires prompt evaluation and management. However, in African countries, discussing issues related to sexual health, especially anal intercourse or self-stimulation, is often considered a taboo. Many individuals avoid seeking medical attention due to fear of judgment, shame, or religious beliefs. This case report presents a 21-year-old female from Rwanda who was presented with an impacted foreign body following a sexual self-stimulation with a perfume bottle. The report explores the medical, psychological, culture and religious considerations involved in such cases.
