14 Jun Man Who Complained About Constipation For Years Got This Removed From Inside of Him

Stomach aches are no fun, especially when you really need to “go” and you just can’t. you know what I mean, right? You probably do: constipation is pretty common and affects people of all ages. The simple definition of constipation is not being able to poop. It can happen for various reasons, such as not eating enough fibre (fibre helps bowel movements), not drinking enough fluids and even due to a change in diet. It can also be a symptom of stress or anxiety, as well as a side effect of certain medication. The causes differ, but the outcome is the same – you can’t poop and it’s uncomfortable.

Imagine feeling that way for years. Last year, one man in China had struggled with stomach pain for up to a decade before checking in to the Second People’s Hospital in Chengdu, capital of south-west China’s Sichuan Province. The 27 year old had seen several doctors who had been unable to diagnose the reason behind his chronic stomach ache until this medical team carried out a series of x-rays and scans which revealed a staggering problem. His colon had grown to twice its normal size due to a condition called ‘congenital megacolon’ which meant he was unable to pass stool. In regular cases, drinking more water, increasing physical activity and eating more fibre can alleviate constipation but in this case, surgery was the only option. Stool weighing 11lbs (5 kg) had become stuck in his colon and had been causing him pain for years – this then had to be removed surgically.
