The woman reportedly screamed out in pain as she was being taken out of the machine.

An anonymous medical provider reported the strange incident to the Food and Drug Administration in April 2023, though it’s received renewed media attention this week. The 22-year-old woman reportedly screamed out in pain as she was pulled out of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine following a scan, which then prompted her delayed admission of having had a “butt plug” inserted.

Serious question: are butt plugs ever prescribed to elderly folks with incontinence?

I'd much rather wear a butt plug then a diaper.

No you don't. Prolonged dilation damages your sphincter and makes the problem significantly worse. And since that's the same muscle that also controls you peeing, you'll get urinary incontinence too. Overall a bad idea. For these reasons you should never use a plug for long (less than 2 hours) and not too often. There are kegel exercises that help prevent damages that should be done when doing anything anal in general
