Six Pounds Of Hair Removed From Child’s Stomach

An 11 year-old girl in Grozny, Chechnya, had six pounds of hair extracted from the inside of her stomach.

An October 7 recording depicted the doctors taking out a large amount of hair that took up most of the space in the child’s stomach. When watching, it seems as if a mold created out of hair was removed.

It has been noted that the girl had Rapunzel syndrome, also referred to as trichobezoar. This condition is often observed in young girls who chew and ingest the ends of their hair. This is usually due to emotional issues or stress.

According to health care officials, the girl had stomach pains, nausea, and weakness as a result of the consumptions.
