Recently, a 9-year-old girl in Suqian, Jiangsu Province suffered from repeated abdominal pain. The doctor found a mass of "hairballs" weighing 2 catties in her stomach.
Xiaoyue (pseudonym) came to the hospital for repeated nausea and vomiting. After examination, the girl's abdominal CT showed that there were huge mixed density shadows in the stomach cavity and duodenum, which were confirmed to be hair.
After the foreign body was removed, the girl's symptoms improved significantly and she has been discharged from the hospital successfully.
It is understood that girls have the habit of eating hair many years ago, because the hair is not easy to digest, over time, the hair accumulates more and more, causing harm.
According to the doctor, the girl's behavior belongs to pica.
Pica often occurs in children and is a very complex syndrome of multiple diseases, which is often induced by psychological factors.
Patients generally continue to bite some non-nutritive substances, such as soil, hair, paper, etc. If they do not intervene in time, they will develop bad habits, which will eventually lead to other health problems.
Children's childhood is very important, whether it is physical or mental, it needs constant attention from parents.
Remind the majority of parents and children to communicate and exchange more, understand the psychological needs of children, and accompany their children to grow up healthily.
