After removing the hairball, the doctor suggested the parents seek psychiatric treatment for the child
The intermittent stomach ache their 10-year-old daughter had been suffering from for a year had a Dadar couple worried. Many doctors failed to cure her. Her parents were shocked when they finally learnt the cause was a hairball in her stomach. She has trichopagia, wherein a person one eats his/her own hair. The hairball had to be surgically removed and the doctor suggested psychiatric treatment for the child.
“My daughter had intermittent abdominal pain which worsened over time. We were worried as the pain didn’t stop even after giving her medication. We consulted many doctors but they failed to treat her. We were in for a rude shock when we learnt about the presence of hair in our daughter’s stomach,” said the girl’s mother.
