The unnamed woman, described as an expat, reportedly began to feel unwell after a night out with pals a couple of days earlier
A BRITISH woman has been questioned by police in Tenerife after doctors found a dead turtle inside her vagina, according to reports in the Spanish media.
Staff at the A&E department of a medical centre in the south of the island are said to have called local cops after making the bizarre discovery, the respected daily El Dia claimed.
The unnamed woman, described as an expat by El Confidential, is said to have sought help after suffering pain in her genital area which doctors diagnosed as an infection caused by the reptile.
The Sun has not been able to independently verify any of the claims that have been widely reported in Spanish media.
She is said to have told police she began to feel odd after going out partying with a group of British friends a couple of days earlier, El Periodico reports.
She apparently had no idea how the reptile ended up where it did.
Some reports suggest the dead reptile may have been a tortoise rather than a turtle - as they are both called tortuga in Spain.
Island papers - and respected Spanish dailies which have echoed the story - have named the medical centre she attended as El Mojon in the municipality of Arona in the south of the island.
The facility, above the holiday resort of Los Cristianos, operates as a small hospital and is eventually expected to become the main southern Tenerife state hospital.
When contacted by The Sun Online no-one from the hospital was available for comment this afternoon although El Dia said health officials had declined to comment for data protection reasons.
