A Vietnamese woman
carried a fetus
for 50 years without knowing it
A Vietnamese woman carried an eight-month
fetus in her body for half a century without knowing
it until she went to see a doctor on account of
abdominal pain at the age of 75 years, the national
media reported on January 17, according to EFE.
Dinh Thi Thu, mother of three, was
shocked when the doctors from the Viet Nam -
Cuba Friendship Hospital in Quang Binh province
( central) told her what
was causing her pain.
"She told us that she had noticed a
growth of her belly, but gradually forgot about it
because she had no pain," Doctor Nguyen Ngoc Tai
remarked.
The specialist pointed out that the
fetus seemed to be the result of an ectopic
pregnancy as it was outside the womb, and thus the
woman was able to have other children.
Doctors are to operate to remove the
fetus. |
