Doctors Remove Record-Breaking Hairball from Jaipur Teen
A 14-year-old girl in India had a huge hairball removed from her stomach.
She had been eating things like soil and wood for years, which caused the hairball to form.
Doctors had to carefully remove it because it was very long and could have caused problems if it broke.
The girl was experiencing stomach pain before the surgery.
The doctors were able to safely remove the entire hairball, making this a rare and amazing medical achievement.
It is now the world's longest hairball ever removed.
Doctors in Jaipur removed a 210-centimetre hairball from a 14-year-old girl.
The girl had been experiencing abdominal pain and vomiting for over a month.
The hairball extended from the stomach into the small intestine.
The girl had a history of eating inedible items since class 6.
The case is expected to set a new world record.
