A FRENCH woman is suing a surgeon after she “gave birth" to a rubber glove and five compresses which he allegedly left in her womb during an operation.

The 48-year-old woman was operated on last April at a private clinic in Marseille, southern France, in a bid to stop heavy periods.

Doctors told her after the operation called endometrial-ablation that “everything had gone well”.

But she was soon suffering from horrific pain, couldn’t sleep, felt sick all the time and found it hard to wee.

She told Le Parisien: “I had the feeling someone was stabbing me with a knife in the belly but I thought it was linked to the operation.

“I naturally talked about it with nurses and the surgeon.

"He told me that I was a lightweight and prescribed painkillers without conducting any extra examinations.”

The woman, who is unnamed, went home, but the pain continued, according to reports.

But after three days of agony in her lower stomach, she claims she started having extremely strong contractions and finally expelled a latex glove and five compresses.

The so-called contraction lasted four hours and left her "in a pool of blood".

When she confronted the surgeon she was allegedly told by him to contact his “insurance company” because he was “very well insured".

The civil case continues.
