Doctors remove 3-inch toothbrush from 31-year-old woman’s nose; woman claims she does not know how the brush got there; doctors shocked that she lived with it for two months.
Doctors at Sapna Health Care Hospital in Ghatkopar, who operated on a 31-year-old woman on Saturday, were shocked at what they saw lodged in her nose — a three-inch piece of a broken toothbrush!
The offending object had been lodged in the woman’s nasal cavity for two long months and had been causing her terrible pain.
So how did it get there? The woman claims she is not sure. She says, “Around two months ago as I was brushing my teeth, my husband accidentally pushed me and the toothbrush in my hand broke. I was left holding the lower portion of the brush but couldn’t locate the rest of it. Soon after, I started bleeding profusely from the nose,” she said. She visited the family doctor to stop the bleeding. “But since that day, I began getting breathless and a foul smelling discharge began to come out of my nose. I used to get restless gasping for breath sometimes,” she said.
Unable to take the discomfort anymore, the woman approached Dr Kaushal Sheth, an ENT surgeon, on October 8. He advised her to get an X-ray done. Dr Sheth said, “The odour from her nose was so bad that it could be smelt from a distance of two feet, yet I could see nothing on the X-ray. I immediately advised her to go for a CT scan.”

You gotta wonder about a guy who “accidentally” pushes his wife so hard she breaks a toothbrush off up her nose...

A flip top head has its drawbacks.
Twice!
Nasal floss ping!
Brushing Boogers????
That’s where I keep my spare toothbrushes also... How clever!
Looking for a new husband (or at least dumping the current one) ought to be a higher priority. How does a guy “accidentally push” his wife so hard that the toothbrush in her hand breaks and leaves a 3 inch piece deep inside her sinuses?
I suspect domestic violence was involved here.
Nostrildamus predicted this would happen ......
A little appropriate Cheech & Chong:
When somebody told her to keep her nose clean she took it literally.
The odour from her nose was so bad that it could be smelt from a distance of two feet
It could be smelt from two feet away! eeewww.
Some accident, husband pushing her so hard that it broke in her nose. The woman’s father-in-law said his son lived separately and used to often fight with his wife as he was jobless. However, the woman has given a statement to the police that the brush had entered her nose accidentally.
