An elderly man had stomach pain that wouldn't go away for 3 months. He went to bed and asked the doctor to remove this “thing” from his stomach, shocking the whole family. He was about to have a funeral!
In medical cases, it will hurt the head. It happened in Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China, where a middle-aged man went to the hospital for treatment. Due to abdominal pain for 3 months, when the abdominal CT scan was performed, it was found that there was a space in the large intestine and swollen lymph nodes. At first, doctors thought that the patient might have a colon tumor. Even relatives are preparing for the afterlife. Because I was worried that it might be cancerous
Surprisingly, it was after surgery. The problem this patient was facing was not that serious. When the doctor discovered the problem, he asked the patient again: Have you ever swallowed a foreign body? But after trying to think and think again. The patient said that he did not remember ever swallowing a foreign body.
During laparoscopic surgery, doctors found a long plastic foreign body. It was stuck in the intestinal wall for about 1 cm, causing inflammation and aneurysm. It matched the location of the inflammatory mass previously detected by endoscopy, and after gently removing the foreign body, it was found to be plastic fork Small in size, often used for dipping fruits or desserts.
After the surgery, the medical staff brought foreign objects to show to the patients and their families. When everyone saw the plastic fork about 8 cm long, they all expressed surprise. Until the doctor asked the reason again. The patient's family recalled that a few months ago, a patient made a bet on “swallowing a fork” while drinking in a drinking circle. This caused his intestines to be severely damaged.
