31-year-old woman from Bareilly ended up in the hospital after years of struggling with a bizarre disorder. For over 15 years, she couldn’t stop eating hair, which is known as trichotillomania. It sounds strange, but this psychological issue can lead to serious health problems.
After dealing with intense stomach pain that wouldn’t go away, she finally decided to seek help at Maharana Pratap District Hospital. Doctors ran some tests and were shocked to find a massive 2-kilogram hairball stuck in her stomach. This wasn’t just a small problem; it was causing major blockages and discomfort in her digestive system.
With Dr. MP Singh and Dr. Anjali Soni leading the team, they figured surgery was the way to go. They successfully removed the hairball, which had taken up a lot of space in her stomach. Can you imagine the relief she felt after the surgery?

It’s going to be a tough road, but with the right support, she can tackle this challenge. Her story is a reminder of how our mental and physical health are totally connected.
