scipaBinge drinking can lead to exploding bladders
November 27th 2007 19:45
A common Friday night out would be going to the pub with some close friends, drinking enough to feel inebriated, then regressing to some immature age, where you act like fools and laugh like a donkey.
Ah, good times.
Surprising news though... in the UK, there have been an alarming number of emergency room cases where people have drank so much and have been so drunk that they've actually ruptured their bladders!
What?
Did you hear what I said? That means drinking enough for the pressure inside your bladder to cause the tissue to stretch and tear, finally popping in sweet release, but bathing your inner organs in the putrid warm flow of your own liquid waste.
Apparently, this condition is often seen in men, who are more likely to be alcoholics, but now the British Medical Journal is claiming that women are catching up.
From the Guardian:
"In the BMJ report, urologist Dr Mohantha Dooldeniya and colleagues at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield, describe the cases of three young women who came into the hospital during the course of a year, initially confusing the doctors with their symptoms. Each woman arrived at casualty the day after a bender, feeling significantly more unwell than they might expect to feel, even with the mother of all hangovers. All complained of lower abdominal pain."
And then:
"In the end, all three women needed to have their bladders sewn back together by surgeons."
Remember to go to the ladies room!
