That makes more sense. I didnt catch that when I read the article.
But with ice cubes you dont have to extract them, they just melt.
Either way, it doesn't work. So sayeth the doctors.
From the link...
“Strange as it sounds . . . a poultice made from grated potato is astringent and soothing,” one site advises.
“Insert the frozen potato slice in your anus and leave it inside for 30 seconds,” another site quoted by the outlet read. “Repeat the process for three to five days. The next three to five days leave the slice inside for 30 seconds more each time. The potatoes have astringent properties and help relieve the pain and itchy sensation which usually happens with this condition, while the ice cold potato constricts the blood vessels, reduces the swelling and relieves your pain instantly.”
This isn’t the first time doctors have needed to beg people not to insert food into a non-mouth orifice. Over the summer, some British women needed a reminder that inserting ice pops into the vagina does not help cool off.
