( 4UMF NEWS ) Four-Pound Hairball Found In 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.
