In an unusual case at Chhatarpur District Hospital in Madhya Pradesh, a team of doctors successfully removed a bottle of gourd from a patient’s body. The patient, who was in critical condition, had the entire gourd lodged inside, causing severe complications.

Severe internal damage:

The patient arrived at the hospital from Khajuraho on Saturday, suffering from intense abdominal pain. Upon examination, doctors discovered the bottle gourd lodged in the patient’s rectum, causing internal ruptures.

Emergency surgery saves life:

Given the patient’s deteriorating condition, the medical team immediately decided to perform surgery. The operation was successful, and the doctors managed to remove the gourd, saving the patient’s life.

“Patient refuses to reveal details”

Dr Nandkishore Jatav reported that the patient has refused to explain how the gourd ended up inside his body. The doctors suspect that the patient might be suffering from a mental disorder, as such behaviour is typically observed in mentally ill individuals. The medical team is still investigating the circumstances of the incident.
