Chinese actress Ge Huijie once had a relationship with Wang Feng and gave birth to their daughter "Little Apple" out of wedlock. Recently, she publicly revealed that she underwent surgery to quit drinking, having an anti-alcohol medication implanted in her abdomen via minimally invasive surgery. Drinking alcohol now could pose a life-threatening risk to her.
Ge Huijie recently disclosed that she underwent minimally invasive surgery in order to quit drinking, where an anti-alcohol drug was implanted in her abdomen to block the stimulation of the brain by alcohol and forcibly reduce her desire to drink. After the surgery, drinking could cause severe discomfort and even be life-threatening. As such, she has completely stopped drinking alcohol: “I really had a surgery to quit drinking, and I can't drink at all now. Drinking will make me pass out immediately and could even put my life in danger.”
Ge Huijie's anti-alcohol procedure has sparked curiosity and skepticism among netizens. The surgery involves implanting a sustained-release anti-alcohol drug, such as naltrexone or disulfiram, which works by causing adverse reactions when alcohol is consumed, thus suppressing drinking behavior. However, some experts have pointed out that this type of procedure is not a mainstream therapy, and its safety and long-term effectiveness lack sufficient clinical verification.
Experts remind the public that alcohol dependence is a condition requiring both psychological and medical intervention, and such surgeries are suitable only for very rare cases. People are advised not to blindly follow suit.
