"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.
