A teenage schoolboy has left many people in serious shock and doctors baffled after he started crying blood.
According to Sun UK, Akhilesh Raghuvanshi, 13, started weeping red tears three years ago and doctors have been unable to explain why.
The bizarre ailment only happened to his eyes before it began spreading to his ears, mouth, hairline and leg – and can happen as many as ten times a day.
The youngster, from the province of Madhya Pradesh, said: “I bleed from my eyes, my hands, my head – from everywhere.
“I bleed from my ears, nose and eyes as well. When I bleed from my ears it feels warm.
return home.
“It may happen once or maybe ten times in a day. Sometimes, the bleeding will stop and won’t happen for months.
“But in the past 15 days I have bled almost everyday.
“It doesn’t hurt when the bleeding starts but it makes me tired and sometimes I have headaches.”
But, the parents of the boy have dismissed the insinuations saying it is as a result of dehydration. Things are now looking different as the bleeding is now affecting his everyday life with blood seeping through his trousers as he sat in the classroom. Most times, the teenager’s face is often covered in dried blood after another bout of the unexplained condition.
Top doctors in India have given the unofficial diagnosis of haemolacria – a condition that causes blood to mix with tears – they have been unable to give a conclusive answer.
Now, his father Arun has appealed to doctors around the globe to help treat his son.
He said: “I have seen the best of the best doctors in India.
“None of them seem to understand what this disease is and how it can be cured.
“I fear for my child’s life now. The medical science must have an answer to it.
“I appeal to the doctors of the world, please intervene and help save my son.”
