Shocking Ultrasound Reveals the Truth: Woman Looks Pregnant with 10 Children!
You can go on a diet, but you can also gain weight while dieting.
You feel that your arms and legs are lighter, but your stomach keeps growing. You wonder what’s going on. Is there a diet that causes this? The answer is no, this does not exist.
A 24-year-old woman from Mexico experienced this. Everyone kept telling her that she was definitely pregnant. Her stomach had become unusually large in just a few months.
But the truth is different, and also much scarier:

When her condition seemed so severe that she had difficulty walking, eating, and even breathing, the woman was taken to the General Hospital in Mexico.
After her admission, the 24-year-old woman met Dr. Erik Hanson Viana.
He immediately decided to perform an ultrasound on the woman. When the photos came, something particularly frightening was discovered.
The doctors had discovered an ovarian cyst that had grown so large it was life-threatening.
The cyst weighed a whopping 33 kg and had begun to compress the two main veins in her body.
As a result, she had a high risk of a heart attack, and immediate surgery was necessary.
“It was so big that it had taken up to 95% of her abdomen,” Dr. Viana told The Telegraph.
The surgeons now had two options. Either they would drain the fluid in the cyst and then remove it through surgery, or they would remove the cyst in its entirety.
Although it would leave a large scar, the woman opted for the latter option, which posed many risks.
“Completely removing it is also difficult because the tissue of the cyst is less than 1 millimeter thin and it must be prevented from drying out, otherwise it can break too easily,” Dr. Viana explained.
Since up to 20% of all giant cysts are malignant, a ruptured cyst can lead to the spread of tumor cells in the woman’s body.
But fortunately, the doctors performed the operation perfectly: The surgery went smoothly and the cyst was safely removed.
After the operation, the 24-year-old’s stomach shrank back to its normal size.
She was even able to leave the hospital two days later… about 33 kg lighter.
As expected, the Mexican woman had a lot of excess skin and a large scar, but that is of course the price she pays to stay alive.
Six months later, the woman returned to the hospital for a routine check-up.
Fortunately, she was as healthy as a horse and could walk like everyone else, without the need for crutches or support. Great to hear!
“A big part of what we do is the gratitude you feel when you have been able to change someone’s life, and knowing that they will never forget you, even if they forget to say ‘thank you,'” Dr. Viana told the NY Post.
It is truly amazing to see what skilled surgeons and doctors can achieve these days. Although the photos are quite scary, we are naturally impressed with what the hospital team has accomplished.
Share this story to honor Dr. Viana and his team for saving this woman! Remember, if you have health problems, just trust the expertise of professionals!
