Doctors at a hospital were shocked to find a live 3-centimetre cockroach in a patient’s small intestine complaining of stomach ache and indigestion.
A 23-year-old complained about stomach problems that he had been experiencing for about three days. He complained of severe abdominal pain and difficulty in digesting food which resulted in frequent bloating. The man had consumed street food at a night market a few days prior and suspected that to be the cause of his problems.
Doctors decided that the best course of action was to conduct an Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Endoscopy, a procedure that examines the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, to hopefully discover the cause of the pain. They certainly didn’t expect to find a live cockroach living in the man’s small intestine.
