According to Chinese media such as Guangmingmang, a 15-year-old girl living in Henan Province, China, recently visited Wuhan Children's Hospital due to severe abdominal pain.
The girl was 160cm tall, weighed only 35kg, and had no menstruation for six months.
In addition, he hardly ate due to severe abdominal pain, and he was also accompanied by severe anemia.
The girl's mother told medical staff that her daughter had been eating hair for six years.
As a result of the examination, a mass of hair and food debris was found in most of the stomach.
Medical staff who explained that this was the cause of abdominal pain and weight loss removed the hair mass through laparotomy.
At the time of surgery, the stomach had expanded to twice its normal size, and the removed hair mass was in the shape of a hard black ball.
On the fifth day after the operation, the girl began to eat food, and she was discharged from the hospital due to significant improvement in her health during the recent examination.
The girl's mother also said, `My daughter is gradually recovering her weight," he said.
"If children repeatedly eat non-edible substances such as hair or glass pieces for more than a month and cannot stop, parents should suspect the 'trichophagia' called Rapunzel's syndrome and seek hospital treatment," the medical staff advised.
