Doctors in India recently carried out an unusual surgery to remove a 40cm bottle gourd from a farmer’s rectum.
According to India TV, the patient arrived at Chhatarpur District Hospital in Madhya Pradesh from Khajuraho on Saturday (20 July).
The 60-year-old was in critical condition, suffering from intense stomach pain.
An X-ray revealed the entire bottle gourd lodged inside the farmer’s rectum, causing significant internal damage

One of the surgeons involved in the operation revealed that the patient declined to disclose how the gourd came to be lodged in his rectum.
Doctors suspect that a mental health issue might be behind this bizarre incident, though they haven’t ruled out the possibility of an accident.
I understand your doubts. I meant that a select few would be both willing and able to pay astronomical amounts of money for a “famous” gourd that had been stuck in someone’s ass.
Many would want a similar gourd, fewer would want a used one, fewer still could pay “auction” price for this particular gourd.
Sounds like a press release from Big Gourd.
