May Brown was rushed to the hospital, where doctors diagnosed that she was not pregnant, but had severe ascariasis that absorbed her blood and nutrients, causing the illusion of irregular menstruation.

Fortunately, the offending roundworm was expelled on its own. Otherwise, due to its huge size, it would have been very likely to break through the intestines and invade other organs, causing more serious consequences.

I looked at Alex Smith in surprise: "I thought ascariasis had been eradicated by now. After all, everyone's awareness of hygiene has improved so much. I never thought about it in this regard. Alex Smith, did you see the problem a long time ago, so you advised me to persuade her to do a prenatal check-up? Why didn't you tell me directly? Now the whole village knows about it."
