The woman's health had deteriorated to the point where she lost up to 25kg and could not walk properly.
According to Chinese media such as the Pengpai newspaper, a 39-year-old woman living in Shanghai started dieting due to dissatisfaction with the body shape of certain areas, such as the inside of her thigh, despite weighing about 40 kg.
In the meantime, I came across a Japanese pink constipation medicine, so-called 'Little Pink Pills', and later began to become addicted to drugs.
This drug contains ingredients that stimulate bowel movements by stimulating nerves in the intestine, and is mainly used for constipation treatment.
However, the woman became obsessed with the bowel effect she felt after taking the drug and continued to eat less and rely solely on the drug.
Over time, the dosage gradually increased, and it became common to take more than 150 pills a day. He also took up to 200 pills.
Eventually, it reached the level of only taking medicine instead of meals, and the weight fell to 25kg.
However, despite taking a lot of drugs, his health worsened as he was unable to properly defecate.
After 12 years of drug addiction, the woman realized her condition was serious and went to the hospital. By the time she arrived at the hospital, she was already in a state of extreme weakness and had to rely on a wheelchair.
The medical staff diagnosed the woman with neuroanorexia (anorexia), chronic constipation, and severe malnutrition.
The video released by the hospital shows her backbone as it is and her limbs are left with only bones, shocking her.
One doctor said "The patient is afraid to even eat food now, and complains of extreme abdominal bloating even with a small amount of food."
Currently, medical staff are taking measures to gradually restore her physical condition without surgery and are receiving treatment with the aim of improving her nutritional status and normalizing her physical function.
"Don't be misled by diet supplements or 'miracle weight loss drugs' that are popular on the Internet or SNS," medical staff said, warning consumers of the risk of unverified substance abuse.
