The Eel That Lived In His Belly 🤢

Broo what

2024, Vietnam: A 34-year-old man arrived at the hospital with intense abdominal pain. Scans revealed a foreign object; surgeons removed a live 30cm (about 1-foot) eel from his abdomen. It had apparently entered via the rectum, traveled through the colon, bitten through the intestine, and was still alive. The patient couldn't (or wouldn't) explain how it got there.

i literally just logged on

A 31-year-old Indian man was admitted to Viet Duc Hospital in Hanoi with severe abdominal pain after inserting a 66 cm live eel into his rectum for stimulation. The eel migrated into his large intestine, biting through the bowel wall. Attempts to remove it were blocked by a second object, a lemon, forcing an emergency surgery. Surgeons extracted the eel alive via an abdominal incision, then removed the lemon through the anus, repaired the colon, and cleaned the contaminated cavity. Source - Medical Media

Thats both disgusting and fascinating

What the fk did i just witness 😭😭

You shoved it up his ass

nightmare fuel

Somehow I doubt it went in from the top.

This is an extremely rare medical emergency. Aquatic animals can accidentally enter the body in contaminated water, but they cannot live there long. Such cases cause severe internal injury, infection, and require immediate surgical care. It is dangerous, not survivable without treatment, and fully preventable with basic water safety.

90% sure this was an Asian

In today’s world, Eels are naturally ingested in Asia, used as Traditional Chinese Medicine for strengthening Qi and curing sexual weakness.

This is how eels reproduce

Where do Eels even come from, they go to the Bermuda Triangle and shit

Nope nope nope… that’s absolutely terrifying 🤢

So somehow an eel wasnt moving in his tummy but he knows nothing about how it got in there

That was a rather quick and unsatisfying ending, this time.
