This is the moment a doctor finds a large cockroach in a young man’s ear canal, and it was reportedly removed after being stunned because it kept kicking its legs, causing the patient discomfort and threatening to burst his eardrum.

The incident took place in the city of Huizhou, which is located in southern China’s Guangdong Province, near Hong Kong.

The cockroach reportedly took up residence in the young man’s ear after the region was hit by a cold spell and the insect was looking for a dry place to keep warm at night.

But the man, who has not been named, went to hospital after experiencing discomfort, with the cockroach reportedly nearly bursting his eardrum.

The doctor, who has been named as Fu Jia, filmed the kicking cockroach using an endoscope.

The doctor, reportedly the deputy director of the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of the First People’s Hospital in Huizhou, said that the patient arrived at the hospital saying that there was something in his ear.

He reportedly said that he had been slapping the side of his ear and could feel pain inside it.

The doctor reportedly had to proceed with caution, because if he was not careful, the cockroach would likely have borrowed further into the man’s ear and could have seriously damaged his eardrum.

The doctor said that every time they tried to grab it, the cockroach would move, so they decided to anaesthetise it, which made removing it much easier.

It is believed that the man was discharged from hospital after the cockroach was removed.
