It is not known how and why the unnamed man in his 40s found himself in such an unfortunate predicament in China
This is the stomach-churning moment doctors had to remove a giant eel from a drunk man’s BUM.
Surgeons had no idea how exactly the snake-like fish got there – as the patient refused to reveal how it came to be lodged in his anus.
It had squirmed into his body and was causing a serious obstruction, and a gruesome video reveals what medics had to contend with.
The man, who is in his 40s, was treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University in China.
Scans had revealed the eel was inside his abdomen.
The creature, which is otherwise considered a delicacy in coastal China, was successfully extracted and the man is recovering at the hospital.

The surgeons, who said they believed the eel was inserted up the man’s anus, declined to comment on the details of the case due to the red-faced man’s own wishes.
The man himself, who is said to have arrived drunk, also refused to explain how an eel found its way up his backside.

Amazingly, this is not the first time doctors in China have had to remove eels from people’s bodies.
In April this year, a 49-year-old surnamed Liu from South China’s Guangdong Province had the same species of eel removed from his intestines after he shoved one of the animals up his anus “to cure constipation”.
A month later, another man from Sichuan Province in south-western China was treated in a similar case, only this time his friends inserted the live eel up his backside as a prank.
China’s National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications said the vlogger, whose surname is Zhang, and 21 others were arrested as part of a crackdown on porn being broadcast on the live-streaming platform “Tiger”.
