According to foreign media such as the New York Post, Yekaterina Badulina (34), a influencer in Russia, recently suffered from a runny nose and high fever with chills.
Thinking she had pneumonia, she was X-rayed at the hospital.
Surprisingly, a metal spring measuring 5 mm × 16 mm was found in her lungs.
The medical staff recommended CT scans for more precise examination.
As a result, the foreign body was presumed to have been left behind during previous surgery.
In the past, she was diagnosed with thromboembolism at the age of 27 and underwent surgery to insert 33 small tubes.
Medics say the metal coil left behind during the operation appears to have traveled through the bloodstream"It was dangerous enough to die at any time," he said.
She said "I haven't felt anything in the meantime"It's a miracle to be alive."
Meanwhile, thromboembolism, which she suffered from, is also called thrombosis, a disease caused by blood clots, which are clumps of blood in blood vessels.
Thrombosis is largely divided into arterial thrombosis and venous thrombosis.
Among them, if thrombosis occurs in the arteries, emergency situations such as acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and pulmonary thrombosis can occur, and if blood clots occur in the veins, deep vein thrombosis that swells the legs, hepatic portal thrombosis that swells the whole body, hematuria, proteinuria, headache, loss of consciousness, exercise abnormalities, and sensory abnormalities can occur.
