Hair-Eating Woman Gets 10-Pound Hairball Removed
Condition Called Trichophagia
POSTED: 11:32 am EST November 26, 2007
Doctors recently took a 10-pound hairball from an 18-year-old woman after she came to them with pain and a 40-pound weight loss.
The New England Journal of Medicine said the woman had been suffering with pain in her abdomen for about five months.
Doctors found a mass there, and when they used a small camera, found that the hairball was taking up nearly her entire stomach.
The patient said that she has a habit of eating her own hair, a condition called trichophagia.
Doctors tried to use small incisions to remove the mass, but then had to go to traditional surgery to make sure the entire hairball was removed.
The journal's report said the girl left the hospital after five days and was asked to follow up with a psychiatrist. Within a year, she had regained about half of the weight she lost and said she had stopped eating her hair.
Looks like a woodchuck.
That's a mighty big hairball!
If my bizarre habits ever cause 10 pounds of something to be removed from my stomach... You do NOT have permission to release pictures of it to the media. :~o
That looks like 3 maybe 4 courics, easy.
That said, I’ve learned a couple of things on this thread that frankly I wish I had not. I must now do several straight shots in the hope that tomorrows blackout of tonight goes back a little ways in time.
“Nice Marmot”
LOL. Where was the spew alert?
Looks like an over cooked cow tongue.
This is one story for what’s his name who use to travel the world and collect stories off oddities.
