Sometimes being a woman means having to deal with unexpected pain from things such as period cramps or ovarian cysts, but most of us would never expect that sudden and severe pain could be the sign of something much more bizarre and potentially even criminal.

For one British woman, however, this was the case. She was vacationing in the Canary Islands with some friends. While there, she went to a party and woke up the next day in pain. The pain escalated to the point where she ended up in the emergency room, where doctors made a shocking discovery: A dead turtle was in her vagina. Somehow, the story gets even worse from there.

It all started when she went to the hospital, suffering from severe pain in her lower belly.

The woman, who was 25 at the time of the incident in 2018, was seen by doctors who didn't immediately know what was causing the pain. "Emergency physicians began to perform tests given the mobility problems presented by the patient," according to ABC Canarias. We're guessing they were just as surprised as she was when they discovered the cause of the pain.

Doctors at El Mojon hospital in Arona found a dead Chinese three-keeled pond turtle lodged in her vagina.

The above tweet has been Google translated. 

The turtle had caused a “serious infection” in her genitals, as reported by the New York Post. Beyond the health consequences of this situation, this whole incident raises a question of how the turtle got there and who might be responsible for killing the turtle and making the woman terribly ill.

The woman told police that she did not remember what happened the night she was out partying and has no recollection of how the turtle got there.

Because of this, the doctors and authorities believe that she may have been the victim of a sexual assault.

The woman did not want the police to investigate the situation and refused to make a statement. The police stated that “We are not actively investigating this matter because the woman declined to give a statement," so this may be a mystery that likely will never solved.

We all say we want an unforgettable vacation, but surely not like this.
