In the Kashkadarya region, a 20-year-old girl sought medical help complaining of severe pain in the upper abdomen, as well as nausea and vomiting. As a result of the examination and subsequent surgery, doctors found a massive hairball in her stomach weighing 1.4 kilograms, as reported by Podrobno.uz.

This is not the first case where a girl has sought help for a similar reason, as she was already on a dispensary account and had previously faced a similar problem. During the surgical intervention, doctors completely removed the foreign body, which measured 58 centimeters in length and about 7 centimeters in width.

This case in Kashkadarya is a striking example of trichophagia — a mental disorder in which a person has an obsessive need to swallow their own hair. It usually arises against the background of trichotillomania — a disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to pull out hair, and serves as a kind of protective mechanism against stress or deep anxiety.
