Doctors Find 150 Worms Living Inside A Woman's Stomach
 
   
 

 
Neha Begum, 22, from Uttar Pradesh in northern India, had been suffering from stomach pain, vomiting, and constipation for months. She visited local doctors several times,  but they were unable to discover a cause for her illness and pain, telling her to take some painkillers.

However, after experiencing extreme bout of sickness , She was forced to visit KG Nanda Hospital in Chandauli. When a physical examination reveled something unusual in her abdomen,  the team of doctors decided to operate, with hopes of hoping to finding the cause of her  pain. During their five-hour operation, they discovered the case was worse than they had imagined.

“When we examined her, we found something was obstructing her intestines. So we decided to open her stomach and see what was causing the obstruction," said Dr Anand Prakash Tiwari, a doctor at the KG Nanda Hospital. "We were shocked to find live round worms wrapped around her intestines and pulled out more than 150 of them alive
some of which measured up to 25 centimeters (10 inches) long.

“The eggs of the worms might have entered into her body through her mouth. It may be because of a lack of hygiene and cleanliness in and around the area where the patient lives,” he added.

A week after the operation and Neha is recovering well and eating solid foods again. 

She thanked the doctors, saying: “I would stay up the whole night — crying, writhing in pain. It affected our conjugal life, too. But now I think we will be able to enjoy the bliss of marriage. I am very thankful to the doctors for eliminating the problem for ever.”
