“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.

“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.
