Bloke needed life-saving surgery after he stuffed 65cm-long eel into his anus with a lemon
The bloke, who shoved the unlikely couple into his anus for reasons we'll never know, now has to live with a colostomy bag, as eel tried to bite its way out of the man's large intestine

A man is lucky to be alive after he plugged up a sizeable live eel inserted into his anus with a lemon.
While it is unclear what the 31-year-old Indian expat was hoping to achieve with this horrific act, he wound up in hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam after experiencing severed abdominal pain.
Traumatised medics at the Viet Duc Hospital spotted the 26-inch-long eel in an X-ray scan, which the bloke had shoved up his bum earlier that day, Saturday, July 27.
The X-ray revealed a “long bone-like structure” which extended across the patient’s abdomen from right to left, reports Must Share News.
In an even more horrific discovery, doctors determined that the pain was caused as the eel tried to chew its way out of the man’s digestive tract by biting through the large intestine.
In yet another revolting yet puzzling twist, as medical staff tried removing the fish with a probe, also inserted in the man’s anus, the team discovered the chap had popped a whole lemon into his rectum as well.
Surgeons then had to cut through the abdomen to remove the eel with forceps, and work the lemon back through the man’s anus until he pooed it back out. They then stitched up the hole in his intestine.
The man now has to live with a colostomy bag, and medical staff say he would have died without intervention.
Unsurprisingly, medics advised shoving live animals into your anus is not a good idea.
Hospital Deputy Director of the Center for Colon and Rectal Surgery Dr Le Nhat Huy said: “Eels are animals that can survive in anaerobic conditions for a long time and can puncture the digestive tract.
“People should absolutely not insert animals through their anus to create a strong sensation, as the consequences can be severe.”
Huy added that while removing foreign objects from patients’ anuses are a familiar surgery, this was the first time his team removed a live animal from one.
