What Causes Hair Coming Out Of Anus?

I know this is weird but I have seen people ask about it to online but I can't find an answer. I have, repeatedly, have long strands of hair (almost my length of the hair on my head) that comes out of my anus and it is very uncomfortable. Yes I know this is a very strange thing. But it affects my bowels and I want to make sure Its not so serious.

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, this is possible when you had ingested hair in the past as a bad habit. If not, a dermoid cyst may have burst inside the intestine lumen allowing its contents to be excreted.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
