Doctors said the lump, which was still attached to his rear, was his rectum and it had lost its attachment to his body.

They also said the condition, called rectal prolapse, could be caused by the fact that the man had sat on the toilet for more than 30 minutes.

It was likely to have been caused by a session on the loo playing his favorite video game.

Dr. Su Dan, who works in gastrointestinal surgery at The Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University told local media the man was diagnosed with a rectal prolapse, which happens when the lining of the rectum slides out of place and ends up outside the body.

The examining doctor found a massive lump – measuring 16 centimeters (16.3 inches) long – sticking out of his anus.

Medical scans show a ‘ball-shaped’ bulge emerging from the anus, as well as bruises and blood spots along the patient’s intestinal wall.

The patient has had the condition since early ages, Dr. Su added that the cause of the prolapse was the long duration spent on the toilet.

Dr. Su said when the patient was trying to defecate, the action could have weakened his muscles in the pelvis.

Thankfully, medics were able to remove the lump and the man is now said to be recovering in hospital.

So no matter how appealing it is to sit on the toilet for ages, it’s really not worth it.
