My comment:
(a) the surname de Jong is Dutch meaning ‘the young’, for the younger of
two bearers of the same name--usually a son. The English and German
counterparts are Young and Jung, respectively.
(b) The vet stated, "Signs of urinary stones can include straining, bleeding
, etc."
That really hit me. When I was about 10 years old in City of Kaohsiung,
Taiwan. I visited an eye doctor because my eyes were tired. I returned home
and swallowed a pill prescribed by the doctor, and felt the tongue was a bit
numb. A few hours later, I went to the bathroom but had a hard time
urinating. After some efforts, several DROPS of fresh blood came slowly out,
one by one. I was alarmed, naturally. The doctor said the prescription was
nothing unusual. The next morning the urine did come out easily but it was
tea-colored. I experienced no pain the day before or that day.
I went to see many doctors, first of internal medicine then kidney
specialists. All said I had acute glomerulonephritis. I even see so called
doctors of Chinese medicine, herbalists who claimed secret recipes from
ancestors and, according to folk lore, ate all sorts of strange things.
Still my urine had a few red blood cells when, after centrifugation, looked
under microscope.
A few years ago, I learned that normal urine contains a couple of red blood
cells.
Upon reading this article, I realized what I had at age 10 was urethral
stone. Since I had a few bouts of kidney stones, mostly in kidney pelvis but
one in a ureter 輸尿管. I also realized that the dark tea-color urine I had
the next day, might be the product of blood lysis 溶血 (abrasion of kidney/
bladder stone causing the oozing of blood in the lining; the red blood cells
then broke down in the bladder). |
