Doctors remove 3-inch toothbrush from 31-year-old woman’s nose; woman claims she does not know how the brush got there; doctors shocked that she lived with it for two months.
Doctors at Sapna Health Care Hospital in Ghatkopar, who operated on a 31-year-old woman on Saturday, were shocked at what they saw lodged in her nose — a three-inch piece of a broken toothbrush!
The offending object had been lodged in the woman’s nasal cavity for two long months and had been causing her terrible pain.
So how did it get there? The woman claims she is not sure. She says, “Around two months ago as I was brushing my teeth, my husband accidentally pushed me and the toothbrush in my hand broke. I was left holding the lower portion of the brush but couldn’t locate the rest of it. Soon after, I started bleeding profusely from the nose,” she said. She visited the family doctor to stop the bleeding. “But since that day, I began getting breathless and a foul smelling discharge began to come out of my nose. I used to get restless gasping for breath sometimes,” she said.
Unable to take the discomfort anymore, the woman approached Dr Kaushal Sheth, an ENT surgeon, on October 8. He advised her to get an X-ray done. Dr Sheth said, “The odour from her nose was so bad that it could be smelt from a distance of two feet, yet I could see nothing on the X-ray. I immediately advised her to go for a CT scan.”

Hey.
They HAVE toothbrushes?..............
Bah! U beat me to the ping!
You don’t want to know where the dental floss ended up.
“I have a toothbrush up my nose,” she bristled.
Let’s just say that those curly greens aren’t provided by hair dye.
See what happens when you only have 1 sink in the bathroom. I call for Universal Double Sinks
I think I’d be looking for a new family doctor, if that one couldn’t find a toothbrush up there.
I suspect illegal drugs were involved here.

Really? Then she goes on to say...
“Around two months ago as I was brushing my teeth, my husband accidentally pushed me and the toothbrush in my hand broke.

Her name must be Hillary.
What? Don’t tell me y’all don’t brush your eustation tubes every morning.......
She brushes her nose hair?...interesting concept!
Now if she could just find that missing hairbrush she accidentally sat down on last week...
See how conveniently that nose is placed so I may keep tools close at hand?
Hate to see where the toothpaste tube ENDED UP....
Her nose smelled worse than Hillary’s-—nah! better not go there.
They also located her electric toothbrush, but she didn’t want it removed just yet.
