"I was holding a pregnancy for the duration of four years, which I
bitterly suffered because of the heavy weight of what is contained in
the stomach," she said. "It was last year around June, I started
feeling labour and I was in that condition for three days and finally
I delivered a stone."
She said that it was after the delivery she now discovered that she
was affected with VVF. Responding, Dr Sunday Lengmang, Director VVF
Centre, Jos, confirmed that giving birth to a stone or any object was
possible.
Lengmang was in Yola to attain to the VVF patients for the duration of
one week .
"Stones and other solid objects can form in a human body in different
cases," he said. "Stones can form in a gall bladder, urinary bladder
and other several parts of urinary tracks."
The medical expert explained that why VVF patients were prone to
giving birth to stones or any solid object was because they drink less
water to reduce urine leakage.
He said as a result of taking less water their urine become concentrated.
"Inside urine, there is salt, sodium and chlorine, and when the urine
becomes concentrated, the salt becomes crystallised and finally forms
itself and later ends up as stone," he said.
Lengmang confirmed that three VVF patients had stones in their
placentas and they would undergo surgery.
He said the size of the stones uncovered from the three women was six
by seven and three by four centimetres.
Lengmang advised VVF patients to drink more water instead of taking
less to prevent them from risk of having stones
