A Chinese man who used folk remedies to treat constipation died and survived. The Global Times reported on the 27th that a man in Xinghua, Jiangsu Province, China, almost lost his life while putting live eels into his stomach to get rid of constipation.The medical team was shocked to see the patient who was brought to the hospital complaining of stomachache on the 20th. It was because a living eel was wriggling in the ship. According to reports, the patient, who was suffering from severe chronic constipation, heard that eels were helpful for constipation and put 20cm-long eels in the anus alive. Immediately after the insertion, he suffered from a stomach-breaking pain, but he finally headed to the hospital after enduring the pain, saying, “I’m too shy to receive medical treatment.”
Medical staff explained, “The eel, which had a rectum and colon in the back of the peritoneum through the anus, bit the organs and passed on to the abdomen.” He also said he had removed the eel from his stomach as an emergency surgery, but it could have been a disaster. “There is no scientific basis at all to say that eels help treat constipation,” he said.”If the eel reaches the abdominal cavity, it can destroy the red blood cells and cause hemoglobin to bleed out of the blood cells, leading to death at worst,” said the doctor who performed the surgery.The eel was already dead at the time of surgery, but the patient had a serious bacterial infection. The abdomen, including the stomach, was full of pollutants, and the colon also had holes from the movement and biting of the eel. Fortunately, however, the patient was discharged three days after the eel was removed due to good progress after the surgery.In January of the same year, a man swallowed two eels to fix constipation and saved his life after surgery. One of the eel he swallowed was reportedly alive until it was taken out of his body.
