It took a total of five hours to rid married Neha of the creatures that had made their home inside her

After the op, relieved Neha said she was looking forward to returning to married life without the worms after endless nights of agony wrecked her sex life.

She said: “I would stay up the whole night, crying, writhing in pain. It affected our conjugal life, too.
"But now think we will be able to enjoy the bliss of marriage . I am very thankful to the doctors eliminating the problem forever.” 

Dr Anand Prakash Tiwari, a gynaecologist at KG Nanda Hospital in Chandauli, Uttar Pradesh, northern India, said: “When we examined her, we found something was obstructing her intestines.

So we decided to open her stomach and see what was causing the obstruction.

"We were shocked to find live round worms wrapped around her intestine and pulled out more than 150 of them out alive. I was shocked. This was an extremely unusual case."

He added: “It is normal to discover three or four worms inside a patient but this is the first time we have come across such a huge number."

According to hospital chiefs, Neha is doing well and was given food orally for the first time. The operation was performed a week ago.

Neha said: “I had seen several doctors before coming here, but none could diagnose what was the problem with my stomach.

"The other doctors would give painkillers and send me back home.”
Asked how the worms could have landed in her stomach, Dr Tiwari said: “The eggs of the worms might have entered into her body through mouth.

"It may be because of a lack of hygiene and cleanliness in and around area where the patient lives.”
