At first, he told the doctors that the animal swam there by itself.
A Chinese man had to undergo emergency surgery to remove a live eel from his intestines and told doctors that the animal had been inserted into the anus to cure constipation. According to an article, published by The Sun, the man had been experiencing constipation and was told by his friends to try this “home remedy.”
ATTENTION!
There is ZERO scientific evidence to support any benefit resulting from putting an eel into the digestive system. The only thing that is proven is that it can cause total havoc, in this case.
The article details how the 49-year-old man from Baiyun District in Guangzhou, the capital of southern China’s Guangdong Province, arrived at the hospital experiencing abdominal pain, initially omitting the fact that there was an eel on his body. He was immediately taken to emergency surgery, and doctors were surprised to find a 20-inch swamp eel between his intestines.
The doctors asked him after the surgery how he got there. The article claims that she initially told doctors she had “swum on her own.” Later, he admitted that the eel went into the anus willingly. Why? Because the guy had been having some constipation issues, and his friends told him about an old folk remedy that claims that an eel could remove the blockage.
There are a few things we can get out of this. One, if your friends recommend you put an eel up your butt, it’s time to think about how good? Friends? They are. Two, if your friends suggest you shove a live eel up your anus and you do, hit yourself in the face (or ask your? Friends? For help). And three, if you have trouble going to the bathroom, try eating some of these 10 Foods that you should eat if you are constipated or, you know, you can also go to the doctor.
