Bezoar

A bezoar is a calculus that forms in the digestive tract of animals and sometimes in humans. It is spherical in shape and can be hazardous to health. In this article we will look at what a bezoar is, how it is formed and what problems it can cause.

Bezoars can form in any part of the digestive tract, from the stomach to the intestines. They are usually formed from materials that an animal or person ingests but which cannot be digested. These materials may include hair, plant fibers, or pieces of plastic or metal.

In animals, bezoars can form due to eating plants that contain a lot of fiber, or due to damage to the esophagus, which leads to its obstruction. In humans, bezoars can form as a result of mental health conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, or eating disorders.

Bezoars can lead to unpleasant symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and indigestion. If a bezoar becomes too large, it can cause an obstruction in the esophagus or stomach, which requires immediate medical attention.

Removing a bezoar usually requires surgery, which can be dangerous and carries a risk of complications. In some cases, endoscopic techniques can be used to destroy the bezoar and remove its fragments.

A trichobezoar is a type of bezoar that is formed from hair. It is most common in people suffering from eating disorders such as anxiety disorders or depression. Treatment of trichobezoar may also require surgery.

In conclusion, bezoars are a serious condition that can lead to severe pain and complications. If you notice signs of a bezoar in yourself or your pet, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Treatment for a bezoar may involve surgery or endoscopic procedures, but it is best to avoid this by monitoring your diet and health.

One type of bezoar is a trichobezoar, which consists of hair that accumulates in the stomach.

Bezoars are found in many animals, including cows, goats, sheep, deer, monkeys and even elephants. In animals, bezoars are formed as a result of ingestion of certain herbs and shrubs containing indigestible substances, which form these stones.

In the Middle Ages, people attributed magical healing properties to bezoars. It was believed that they could neutralize the effects of poisons and cure various diseases. However, modern medicine does not find any beneficial properties in bezoars, except for the potential threat to life if they accumulate in the stomach.
