Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro says he is suffering from a hernia, apparently as a result of being stabbed in the stomach in 2018, local media reported on Friday.

"I'm pregnant," the far-right leader joked with journalists at a hospital in Brasilia on Thursday night.

"There's a protraction, and maybe in February I'll have a health check."
"It's the age. I'm 64, there were four operations in which they opened up the whole abdomen. Twice, they took out everything (his intestines). It was extremely serious."
