Doctors removed a toothbrush that a man swallowed more than 50 years ago (4 photos + 1 video)
In China, an elderly man sought medical help and complained of abdominal discomfort. The cause of the symptom surprised doctors. 
Doctors conducted an examination and found a toothbrush stuck in the patient's intestines. Embarrassed, Yang admitted that he accidentally swallowed the toothbrush at the age of 12 and did not tell his parents, afraid that he would be scolded. 
Since the brush had not caused any discomfort up until now, Ian assumed that it had somehow “dissolved” on its own and come out naturally. 
During an 80-minute endoscopic operation, doctors removed the foreign object. Doctors removed toothbrush from man's body and noted that he was incredibly lucky
For 52 years, the foreign object really did not cause problems for the man. The brush "fixed" itself in the bend of the intestine and did not cause serious complications.
