Cockroach found in woman’s colon during colonoscopy…
Here’s a story that’s sure to make your insides turn; Discover Mag’s NCBI ROLF is reporting that a woman who had been referred for a colonoscopy was shocked to find that her abdominal bloating was in fact caused by a cockroach lodged in her colon.
The 52-yaer-old woman was referred by her physician for a colorectal cancer screen. Doctors quickly diagnosed that the women was suffering from abdominal bloating, however upon screening prior to the operation doctors found a Blatella germanica, or German cockroach, inside her transverse colon. Thankfully the insect was successfully aspirated – removed by suction.
