Apparently the man had swallowed the phone 6 months ago but was too embarrassed to seek medical help.
According to Times Now News, the man couldn’t bear the pain anymore and finally went to see the doctors. When medics did an x-ray scan of his stomach, they were shocked to find an entire phone wedged inside his stomach.
The phone has also blocked food from passing through his body properly.
The man had to undergo emergency surgery for potentially life-threatening injuries including intestinal and abdominal infections.
