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.”

as I was brushing my teeth, my husband accidentally pushed me and the toothbrush in my hand broke.

Color me skeptical, but I'm not believing that push was an accident. She was pushed so hard that it broke the toothbrush and part of it lodged in her nose... Or, maybe they were just horsing around, as in: "Hey, I'm using the sink now." "No, I'm using it..."

Great minds think alike. I hadn’t read the whole article. Now that I have, I’m sure they weren’t just horsing around. She’s not telling the whole story.

“S’not funny,” he bristled, “It was a brush with death. I couldn’t get a handle on why my nose hurt.”
