A man stuck an aubergine up his bottom to try and cure his constipation.
Not the same aubergine
The 50-year-old from China was so desperate to be able to go to the bathroom that he decided to put the foot-long fruit up his rectum to try and get some movement.
It was two whole days, however, before he decided to seek medical help after it got stuck up there, as reported by the Metro.
Surgeons were able to remove the intact fruit from his intestines after a grueling procedure - with the doctors realising he had lung inflammation and a ruptured bowel following the unfortunate incident.
The embarrassing and painful tale has gone all over Chinese social media, and one Weibo user suggested the man should stick potatoes and peppers up there too so he could make a tradition dish called di san xian.
