Chinese Man Undergoes Surgery After Childbirth Simulation Causes Severe Injury

A Henan man lost part of his small intestine following a three-hour labour pain simulation requested by his girlfriend, leading to legal action.

A man in Henan, China, was hospitalized and required surgery to remove part of his small intestine after a childbirth pain simulation left him with severe abdominal damage.
The simulation, conducted at a medical center, involved electric currents mimicking uterine contractions and was intended as a 'test' before the couple's engagement.
The man's girlfriend and her family insisted on the simulation to help him understand the challenges faced by women during childbirth.
The simulation lasted three hours, with pain levels manually increased to the maximum, causing the man to cry, struggle, and later experience vomiting and worsening abdominal pain.
The man's mother has canceled the engagement, and legal action is underway, with potential financial liability for the girlfriend under Chinese injury compensation laws.
