Fortunately, the man had not lost much blood, and he was taken quickly to a local hospital.
In a shocking incident, a US man's colon was put back into his body after it fell out after a "forceful" sneeze, as per a report in the New York Post. The 63-year-old from Florida was having breakfast with his wife at a restaurant when the incident took place.
Notably, the man had battled prostate cancer and had undergone abdominal surgery before the incident occurred. On the morning of his bowel "evisceration," he had sutures taken out of his abdomen.
A recent paper published in the American Journal of Medical Case Reports details his unusual case and medical recovery. It said, "During breakfast, the man sneezed forcefully, followed by coughing. He immediately noticed a 'wet' sensation and pain in his lower abdomen. Looking down, he observed several loops of pink bowel protruding from his recent surgical site."
