Man ends up at hospital after pushing eggplant up his butt to cure constipation

People in every part of the world have certain home remedies they use in case of ailments like cold or an upset stomach. But while many using common ingredients can be effective, some people may have bizarre ideas.

A 50-year-old in China ended up at the hospital when he tried a shocking way to cure constipation and abdominal pain. The man actually inserted an eggplant in his anus and this left him with a bigger problem than what he was already facing.

Instead of curing his issues, the method caused him discomfort, nausea and vomiting. He finally decided to seek medical assistance two days after the incident and visited the hospital.

X-ray revealed the shocking extent of the harm caused by the eggplant showing how it had reached all the way inside and damaged one of his lungs. They then surgically removed the eggplant from his body and the man is said to be doing better now.
