Woman couldn’t eat for months, doctors finally found a giant hairball filling her stomach

A 30-year-old woman’s persistent stomach pain and loss of appetite were traced to a massive hairball lodged in her stomach. Doctors at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, discovered the trichobezoar, a condition linked to trichotillomania, where individuals compulsively eat their own hair. The surgical team successfully removed the large mass, emphasizing the critical link between mental health and physical well-being, and the necessity of integrated care.
