Doctors remove 28 pounds of feces from constipated man | Daily Mail Online
Doctors removed 28 pounds of feces from the bowels of a man who was reportedly constipated since birth.
The unnamed 22-year-old had 30 inches of his grossly enlarged bowel removed by surgeons at Tenth People's Hospital of Shanghai in China.
It is believed the young man had Hirschsprung's disease, which causes the bowels to swell because the nerves that are supposed to control the gut are missing.
Doctors said the man looked like he was nine months pregnant because of the painful enlargement and feces backup.
