😳 This was removed from the bladder of an 11-year-old boy.
About a week ago, an 11-year-old boy was brought to our children's clinic. His parents' only concern was that he could not control his urine (urinary incontinence). They also mentioned that he rarely drank water and generally disliked drinking it.
After a thorough evaluation, he was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection, and a bladder stone was suspected.
An abdominopelvic ultrasound scan was requested, and the results confirmed the presence of a bladder stone. He was subsequently referred to the Urology Clinic for specialist care.
Yesterday, the boy underwent surgery performed by a urologist, and the bladder stone was successfully removed.
The image below shows the stone that was taken out during the procedure.
This is one of the reasons health professionals constantly emphasize the importance of drinking enough water. Regular hydration helps the kidneys function properly and can reduce the risk of stone formation in the urinary system.
So please, make it a habit to drink water regularly and encourage your children to do the same.
Stay hydrated. Stay healthy.
