SHOCKING DISCOVERY: Man vomits kilograms of hair from his stomach! – Breaking News Alert
A 14-year-old girl in Kayseri had a 3.5-kilogram hairball removed from her stomach and duodenum after experiencing weight loss and menstrual irregularities. The girl’s family had been aware of her habit of eating hair but did not realize the potential consequences until she was brought to Kayseri City Hospital.
Associate Professor Murat Kabaklıoğlu from the Pediatric Surgery Service at Kayseri City Hospital successfully performed the surgery to remove the hairball. He explained that the girl had been consuming hair for a long time, and the accumulation in her stomach and duodenum had caused her symptoms.
Kabaklıoğlu emphasized the importance of not ignoring unusual habits like consuming non-food items and seeking medical help promptly. He warned that such accumulations could lead to weight loss, vitamin deficiencies, and developmental delays if left untreated.
This case serves as a reminder for families to pay attention to their children’s behaviors and seek medical attention if they notice any unusual symptoms. It is crucial to address potential health issues promptly to prevent complications like the one experienced by this young girl in Kayseri.
