According to local reports, a 35-year-old, who has not been named, had been complaining of unbearable stomach pain. Hence, was referred to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh to investigate regarding his condition.

When an X-ray was performed, doctors were shocked to see the spoons in his stomach, which seems the patient had not been aware of. The team could also see a knife in a dangerous position, almost piercing through the man's stomach.

Emergency surgery was performed and it was discovered the tip of a knife had punctured a hole in his stomach. Doctors were shocked to discover eight spoons and a knife inside a man's stomach. Two screwdrivers and two toothbrushes were among the bizarre objects to be taken out,according to the doctors. A short cylinder metal bar is also pictured on the line up of objects recovered from the surgery.

It is believed the man was suffering with a psychiatric disorder, which might have prompted him to eat the objects. A three hour operation was urgently performed to clear the metal before it causing more harm. The patient is now being cared by his family as per the local reports.

Though a diagnosis has not been clearly reported, there are few disorders characterized by his eating habits. Pica, for example, is an eating disorder whereby the person cannot help eating items which are not food including dirt, talcum powder and metal objects.

This often occurs along with mental health disorders that impair functioning, such as autism or schizophrenia.
