She had been pulling out and eating her own hair since she was a toddler
Doctors at a hospital in Kalyan in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) removed 650 grams of hair that had accumulated in a 12-year-old girl’s stomach. The girl, whose name has been withheld because she is a minor, had been pulling out and eating her own hair since she was a toddler and over the years this had turned into a large ball making her sick and causing intense pain in the stomach. This condition is seen in people with psychological disorder Trichophagia – a compulsive urge to eat hair — said Rohit Paryani, general & laparoscopic surgeon from Starcity Multispeciality Hospital, Kalyan (East), where the procedure was conducted.More Related News
