Doctors remove 16-inch long 'bottle gourd' from patient's colon

In a bizarre medical case, doctors performed a two-hour operation to remove a 16-inch long bottle gourd from a patient's colon.

The 60-year-old patient, a farmer by profession, was admitted to the hospital in Madhya Pradesh with severe stomach pain, according to Indian media.

After conducting necessary tests and an X-ray, doctors were surprised to find the presence of a bottle gourd in the patient's large intestine.

Local media reported that the patient was immediately operated on, and the vegetable was successfully removed.

According to reports, the patient's condition is now out of danger. However, doctors are still baffled about how the bottle gourd ended up in the patient's colon.

Despite questioning the patient, no satisfactory answer was given, which prompted the doctors to form an investigation team to probe the matter further.

The unusual case has left medical professionals stunned and seeking answers.
