A woman from the US who had a problem losing weight for years finally resorted to going to doctors. But after getting herself checked she found out that she had a 20lb tumour filled with hair and teeth growing in her ovary.
Jaimi Conwell, a nurse in Texas, tried to lose weight for years but couldn't get anything out of it. Despite trying various different diets and exercising twice she was having a problem. It got worse when she started gaining more weight in the last two years accompanied by nausea.?
This is when the 28-year-old decided to go see a doctor who revealed that there was an enormous 20lb ovarian tumour that had completely engulfed her right ovary, has been steadily growing inside her body for Jaimi's entire life.
After the surgery, she lost almost 46 kg. She told The Daily Mail that when she started facing other symptoms along with weight gain, she realised that there was something more than just that.?
'I would bend over to tie my shoe and get nauseous, which I thought was normal for bigger people,' she said. 'I got my blood count checked to make sure everything was normal and my white blood cells came back abnormal.'
Doctors had added that Jaimi should undergo an explorative procedure, which would allow them to better identify the source of her medical issues; she was placed under anaesthesia for the operation, while her mother was given control over any decisions that might need to be made.
This is when the doctors found out that there was a ti=umour that needs to be removed along with her ovary thinking it can be cancerous.?
'I was placed under anesthesia, but was with my mom who I made a proxy so she could make any decisions for me,' Jaimi recalled. 'The doctor came in and told her I had a massive tumour in my abdomen that had engulfed my right ovary.'He asked if they could remove it and my mom agreed, so I had the tumour along with my right ovary removed.
The doctors then mentioned that probably Jaime's mother conceived a twin while pregnant with her and that can be the reason.?
However, the procedure went well leaving everyone satisfied.?
