Unbelievable Discovery: Live Eel Found in Man’s Abdomen
The human body’s capacity to surprise and shock was on full display in a recent medical case from Vietnam. Doctors were faced with the extraordinary challenge of removing a live eel from a man’s abdomen, a situation that left many stunned.
Shocking Medical Case in Vietnam
- A 34-year-old Vietnamese man underwent surgery to remove a live eel from his abdomen after it allegedly entered his body through his anus.
- The incident took place at the Hai Ha District Medical Center in Quang Ninh Province, where the man sought treatment for severe abdominal pain.
- Doctors suspect that the eel traveled through the man’s colon, causing discomfort before being discovered during an ultrasound and X-ray examination.
Complications and Surgery
Despite the successful removal of the eel, complications such as intestinal perforation and peritonitis arose, leading to inflammation in the abdomen. Intestinal perforation is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.
Another Startling Case in India
In a similar incident in Punjab, India, doctors performed surgery on a man with symptoms of nausea, fever, and severe abdominal pain. They found various foreign objects in his stomach, including earphones, nuts, bolts, lockets, and screws, which were successfully removed in a three-hour operation.
