A medical doctor who works in Kebbi Medical Centre, Birnin Kebbi, has issued a warning after an encounter at the hospital.
Doctor Mustapha Muhammed took to Facebook to reveal what happens when a person doesn’t drink enough water.
He wrote: “A week ago, an 11 year old boy was brought in to our children’s clinic and specifically to my consulting room, the parents complained that their child can’t hold urine (urinary incontinence), and that was the only complaint, nothing more except for child’s inadequate intake of water or doesn’t like drinking water that much.
“Upon further evaluation, he was assessed to have urinary tract infection and likely BLADDER STONE.
“An abdominopelvic ultrasound scan was requested, which revealed a finding in keeping with BLADDER STONE, and I referred him to Urology Clinic. Yesterday, the child had a surgery done by a specialist (urologist) for the removal of the BLADDER STONE.
“Below is the STONE that was removed via surgery from the boy.
“When Aproko Doctor says DRINK WATER, this is what is trying to prevent you from having. So, drink water regularly and frequently to perfuse your kidneys and prevent stone formation.
“Thank you for your attention to this matter.
God bless Nigeria.”
