Disgusting footage shows moment doctors remove 5ft long hairball from teen's stomach.
Doctors in India were baffled to discover a five feet long hairball in a 15-year-old girl's stomach after she had become addicted to eating hair.

Kavita Kumari had been swallowing single strands of hair for the last year.

The teenager's addiction was so severe that she would not just eat her own hair but also pick up other people's hair strands she would found lying around.

She even plucked hair of her classmates at school and eat it.

Her addiction meant she had lost interest in eating food and would vomit each time she was force-fed. She would often complain of severe abdominal pain and weakness.
