More than 100 parasitic worms were extracted from a man’s abdomen in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam, on December 21 by a doctor.
Parasitic worms, also known as helminths, are large macroparasites; the adults can generally be seen with the naked eye.
It all began after the man complained of stomach pain and went to a hospital in Thanh Hoa where doctors checked him and discovered his stomach was filled with worms.
The doctor, Dr. Anh said the man came to the hospital and that he had a writhing stomach ache and wasn’t getting better despite taking medicine.
After having a check-up, the doctor found worms moving inside the man’s abdomen and then sent him to the operating room immediately for surgery with the procedure recorded.
Dr. Anh and his team literally fished out more than 100 parasitic worms, which had apparently started with just one that laid a bunch of eggs.
The worms were parasitised in the man’s intestines and spread rapidly afterwards, the doctor said.
According to the doctor, the unhygienically eating habits caused the worm larvae to parasitise in the man’s abdomen.
