Doctors Remove Woman's 10-Pound Hairball

5-Inch-Long Mass Had To Be Surgically Removed
Doctors have removed a 10-pound hairball from the stomach of an 18-year-old woman, the New England Journal of Medicine reported last week.
The woman had gone to the doctor because of vomiting, abdominal pain and weight loss. Doctors said she also suffered from a condition called trichophagia, or the compulsive eating of hair.
The Chicago doctors surgically removed the 15-inch-long, 7-inch-wide mass, which was taking up most of the room in her stomach.
The journal reports that a year after surgery, the woman is pain-free and no longer eating her hair.

It is a disorder.... ever see girls twisting their hair and sucking on it? Some eat it.... I had a girl in one of my labs who did.... she would literally pull at her hair till it came out and suck/ eat it...
its like people who pick their nails or bite their nails...
wtf...ewww i remember seing a smiliar situation about a woman in India...i think it was on Guiness World Record..i remember her saying she had the "urge" to eat hair...it was like a habit for her

i know this happens in cats and dogs and such (my friend had to put her dog under the knife because he was eating her cat's hair that got twirled in his intestines)...but humans?

| The world's hairiest man is recovering at a Shanghai hospital after undergoing an operation to remove hair that had impaired his hearing, the Xinhua news agency reports.Yu Zhenhuan, a 26-year-old Chinese rock singer, had lost a third of his hearing due to excess hair inside his ears and had suffered from constant headaches, Xinhua reported. He underwent a four-hour operation at a Shanghai hospital where doctors cut skin from his ears, removed the hair and follicles to prevent the hair from growing back and then reattached the skin to his ears. "It was a successful operation," a doctor at the hospital said. "He's still hospitalised." Yu was listed in 2002 as the world's hairiest man by the Guinness Book of Records, Xinhua said. Ninety-six per cent of Yu's body is covered with hair, except for his palms and the soles of his feet. The density of hair on Yu's body reaches an average of 41 hairs per square centimetre, with each hair ranging in length from one to six centimetres. Advertisement Advertisement The hair in Yu's ears were two to three centimetres long. Doctors found Yu's ears were stuffed with hair, making him vulnerable to infections. As a child, Yu starred in a film called China's Number One Hairy Child and later became a singer. Still referred to as the "hairy child," Yu said he had never thought about ridding himself of all the hair and did not shave any part of his body other than his beard, the Guangzhou Daily said. Removing the hair would mean taking away a part of his personality and would show he had lost confidence in being who he was, Yu said. AFP |
