There are hernias. And then there are HERNIAS.

Glenn Williams of Leicester, England, says he had one in which his "stomach shot out like a football" when he coughed, according to SWNS.

Williams, 67, was left with a hernia that caused his intestine to bulge noticeably after bowel cancer surgery two years ago, the Leicester Mercury reports. He says he endured plenty of embarrassment.

"People would stare at me wherever I went, and I could hear comments from people saying I have a football up my coat, or I've been shoplifting, or when was my baby due," he told University of Leicester Hospitals in a press release. "It affected me not only mentally and physically, but emotionally too."
