Surgeons in Delhi extract 1.16-kg hair mass from patient's abdomen
Medical professionals in Delhi successfully operated on a woman to take out a 1.16-kg hairball that had built up in her stomach over 11 years of consuming her own hair. This unusual medical issue is called trichophagia, which leads to the formation of a trichobezoar inside the digestive tract. Experts emphasize that individuals who compulsively eat hair should seek immediate physical and mental health assessments.
