Stomach Pain and Unusual Movements Lead to Discovery of Coin in Woman’s Stomach

In a rare and surprising medical case, a young woman experienced unusual movements and severe stomach pain while operating medical equipment at a hospital. After 16 years of no health issues, her condition prompted her to seek medical advice, leading to the discovery of a coin stuck in her stomach.

According to doctors at JN Medical College, the woman underwent an X-ray of the abdomen after experiencing unusual symptoms during her work. The X-ray revealed that a coin, which she had accidentally swallowed as a child, had been lodged in her stomach all these years.

Endoscopic Procedure Successfully Removes Coin

The coin was successfully removed through an endoscopy, a procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera to examine and treat internal parts of the body. The woman’s medical condition was attributed to the coin’s magnetic effect, which caused strange movements and severe pain in her stomach while she was operating MRI equipment on patients.

Coin Swallowed as a Child Went Unnoticed for Years

It was revealed that the woman had swallowed the coin as a child, and her family believed it would naturally pass through her digestive system. Since the girl did not experience any problems or discomfort in the years following, her family never sought medical attention for the incident.
