4-Pound Hair Ball Removed From Teenage Girl's Stomach

It's hard to stomach, but a 19-year-old girl in Indore, India, has a weird taste in snack foods -- and it finally came back to haunt her.

The girl went to Maharaja Yeshwantrao Hospital in Indore last month, complaining she hadn't been able to eat or drink for a few days.

Upon examination, doctors discovered a hair ball weighting nearly four pounds stuck between her stomach and small intestine, the New York Daily News reported.

Turns out the girl had a bad habit of eating her hair and chalk while in class, and the combination ended up stuffing her insides to the gills.

Dr. Parvinder Singh Lubana led a team of gastro-surgeons who were able to remove the giant hairball from the patient, NDTV.com reported.

As impressive as this hairball is, it pales in comparison to the one doctors removed from a Chicago teen in 2007 . That monstrosity weighed 10 pounds and measured 15 inches by 7 inches by 7 inches, according to CNN.

yes we can.

Humans can digest corn. We now have smaller teeth then we did millions of years ago and many of us don't have our wisdom teeth. The corn is not being chewed up completely. Also many people end up swallowing whole kernels of corn. Our digestive systems are not as good as they used to be digesting plant materials, let alone whole kernels. They pass right through our stomach and intestines. If you dont want undigested corn, you have to make sure you chew each and every kernal completely

 

[Bud Bundy]

yes we can.

fine

we shyt out whole kernals of corn with no problem. Why not a strain of hair?

Neither do cats. Its an accumulation. You should do more research on the human digestive system. Right now you seem to know enough.
