Shocking Video: Indian Man Inserts 2-Foot Eel into Anus, Regrets It

In a shocking turn of events an Indian man in Vietnam almost lost his life after putting a live eel up his anus. According to Vietnam News, the eel was chewed through his intestines and had to be surgically removed from his abdomen.

The 31-year-old Indian man reached Viet Duc Hospital in Hanoi, suffering from minor abdominal pain. Doctors discovered that he had chewed a 2-foot live eel into his anus earlier that day.

The patient had to undergo several tests, including an ultrasound, an X-ray and several imaging tests. These tests revealed the eel's skeleton lodged inside his abdominal cavity.

The Viet Duc Hospital quickly assembled a team of endoscopy specialists and anesthesiologists to remove the eel. Initially, they attempted to extract the eel through the patient's anus. However, they discovered that a large lemon, which the patient had inserted after the eel, was blocking the way.

The expert team therefore opted for emergency surgery to remove the eel. On opening the abdomen, they found the live eel approximately 65 cm long and 10 cm in circumference.

"The eel had bitten through the patient's rectum and colon to escape into the abdominal cavity," said Le Nhat Huy, vice director of the Department of Colorectal and Perineal Surgery.

Doctors managed to remove both the eel and the lemon. He was examined to ensure there were no more foreign objects in his body and then stitched up.

“Eels can survive in anaerobic conditions for a long time and have the ability to bite through the gastrointestinal tract,” Huy warned. “Therefore, people should never insert live animals through the anus to seek intense sensations due to the unforeseeable consequences.”

Incredibly, this isn’t the first time this year that an eel has been removed from someone's body in Vietnam.
