{UAH} Doctors Remove 13Kg of Faeces from Man Constipated Since Birth

Surgeons have removed 13kgs of feces from the bowels of a man was constipated since birth.

The unnamed 22 year old underwent the procedure at Tenth People's Hospital

of Shanghai in China. He had a grossly enlarged bowel.

According to reports, the man might have had the rare

Hirschsprung's disease

which causes the bowels to swell because the nerves that are supposed to control the gut are missing.

According to one of the doctors, the man looked like he was 'more than 9 months pregnant'. "It looked like it could explode at any time," said Doctor Lu.

The patient said he had always suffered from constipation and used laxatives, but those only offered a brief relief.

He finally went to the hospital so doctors could relieve him of his symptoms.

Tests conducted determined the man had months, even years, worth of feces inside a portion of his colon, causing the immense swelling of his abdomen.
