Man's indigestion turns out to be something creepier.
A young man from New Delhi, India was recently faced with a bizarre and uncomfortable situation. After experiencing symptoms of indigestion, he sought medical help and was shocked to discover that a living cockroach had taken up residence inside his body. This discovery was made during a routine examination at Fortis Vasant Kunj hospital, where doctors found the 3cm insect nestled in the man's small intestine.

The 23-year-old had been experiencing stomach pain and bloating for a few days before seeking medical attention. After running some tests, doctors were surprised to find the cockroach still alive and kicking inside the man's body. It was a concerning situation that required immediate action. Senior consultant in gastroenterology, Dr. Shubham Vatsya, expressed his amazement at the insect's resilience, saying that even the medical team was surprised at how it managed to stay alive inside the man's body.

The situation was not to be taken lightly, as the cockroach could have potentially caused a dangerous infection or even become life-threatening. In order to remove the insect, doctors decided to perform an endoscopy procedure. This involved using a specialized tool to gently suction the cockroach out of the man's small intestine. With the push of a button, the insect was safely removed, saving the man's life.

It's not the first time that doctors have encountered a living insect inside a patient's body. In a similar incident, a 63-year-old man in the US had a fly inside his intestines during a routine colon cancer screening. The fly was also found to be alive, leaving both the man and his doctors puzzled as to how it got there in the first place. This strange case was published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, highlighting the mystery surrounding the fly's journey into the man's body.

In both cases, it remains a mystery as to how the insects found their way into the patients' bodies. The important thing is that they were quickly and safely removed, preventing any potential harm. So, the next time you experience stomach troubles, remember to seek medical attention and don't be surprised if the cause of your discomfort turns out to be a little unexpected.
