A strange disease has emerged in India in which doctors removed 2 kg of hair from a girl's stomach, in which the patient continues to eat his own hair.

According to an Indian media report, recently a rare case called "Rapunzel Syndrome" came to light from Bareilly, India, where doctors removed 2 kg of hair from the stomach of a 21-year-old girl.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

According to Indian media reports, in this surprising medical case, doctors removed 2 kg of human hair from the stomach of a 21-year-old woman, who had been eating her own hair for the past 16 years.

The victim is said to be a resident of Kargina and was diagnosed with a disease called "Trichophagia", also known as "Rapunzel Syndrome". It is a rare psychological condition in which individuals become addicted to eating their hair.

The woman was diagnosed on September 20 when a CT scan revealed large hair deposits in the woman's stomach and intestines.
