This special case is Mr. D.V.B (69 years old, residing in Khanh Hoa province) who was hospitalized in a state of eczema in the lower abdomen, lasting more than a year. Recently, the pain has gradually increased and greatly affected Mr. B's daily activities.
The patient said that he had examined many places and used many types of medicine but did not improve.
At Hospital 22-12, after performing anorectal endoscopy, doctors discovered that his colon had ulcerative inflammation, accompanied by many abnormal foreign objects.
Notably, during the endoscopy, the team took out 3 long bones - suspected to be fish or poultry bones - deep into the colon wall, causing prolonged inflammation.
The patient was removed from the foreign object through endoscopy and continued treatment for ulceration. Thanks to timely intervention, the patient avoided dangerous complications such as intestinal perforation or abdominal abscesses.
According to doctors, this is a rare case but it is worth noting. Gastrointestinal foreign bodies, if not detected early, can cause inflammation, ulcers, and even life-threatening complications.
Health experts recommend that people - especially the elderly - should eat slowly, chew thoroughly, and be careful when eating foods with bones or hard objects. When there are symptoms of prolonged abdominal pain, digestive disorders of unknown cause, it is necessary to go to a digestive medical facility for timely examination and treatment.
