Doctors in Xiangyang, Hubei province of central China, made the shocking discovery that the chopstick was lodged in his belly after performing an X-ray on April 22.
A 68-year-old man hospitalized for abdominal pain learned he was suffering discomfort because of the chopstick lodged inside his stomach, according to reports.
The unnamed man in China had placed the metal chopstick in his rear end because of “curiosity,” and was interested in checking out his backside because he was developing hemorrhoids, according to the Daily Mail.
