Some just don't use it how they're supposed to.........
A pensioner had to have a toothbrush surgically removed from his backside after he used it to scratch his haemorrhoids.The unnamed 69-year-old was ordered into hospital by his GP where an X-ray revealed it was deep inside near his pelvis.
Doctors removed it with using forceps but say it is the first recorded case of a toothbrush having to be removed from a rectum.
However the British Dental Journal reports doctors have recovered toothbrush holders, toothbrush packages and toothpicks in the past.
The British Dental Association's Dr Jacinta Yeo said: "This is a surprising use for a toothbrush and we would recommend that people use toothbrushes in the way they are intended."
