Comedian Vice Ganda Undergoes CT Scan Procedure

Vice Ganda underwent the CT scan procedure.

VICE GANDA – The prominent comedian and actor, Vice Ganda, underwent the CT scan procedure after his stent for two months was not removed yet based on his previous check-up.

Based on a previous report, Vice Ganda has asked for prayers over his medical condition.

It is because he was diagnosed with having kidney stones after being rushed to the hospital for suffering severe abdominal pain.

He has ureteral colic, “a condition when a stone from the kidney falls and gets stuck in the tube connecting the kidney to the urinary bladder.”

According to his sister who is also a doctor, Vice is set to have an “extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy to fragment the stone in the ureter and using IV contrast to locate the stone” but the stones remained not targetable, thus, the insertion of the stent.

He will have the stent inside his body for two months but based on his previous checkup, his ultrasound results say that he is still not fine and the stent cannot be removed yet.

“Nagpa-ultrasound ako. Excited ako na makuha ‘yung result, eh hindi pa okay, kaya hindi pa siya tatanggalin. Bukas mayroon akong CT scan. Ipag-pray niyo ako para okay na ako. Hindi kasi ako makagalaw,” he said.

And lately, he did undergo a CT scan procedure.

On Twitter, he said that his appearance was cut short in the program “It’s Showtime” over the scheduled procedure to check his kidney stones.

“Sorry di ko na natapos ung TnT nakaschedule kasi ang CT Scan ko ngayon ng 4pm so i have to go na to the hospital. Pray for me ha,” he wrote in a post.
