The Chief Executive Officer of Profecy Scientific Herbal Clinic, Dr. Mensah Bonsu, has revealed that more men are dying of kidney diseases than women due to alcohol intake and sex enhancement drugs (aphrodisiacs).
Dr. Bonsu, as part of the Kidney awareness month, indicated that the indiscriminate use of aphrodisiac is gradually becoming a major cause of kidney failure in Ghana.
In an interview with the media on Wednesday, he noted that though both males and females were diagnosed with kidney failure, most of the cases were men consistently abused aphrodisiacs.
“We are once again warning the public, these aphrodisiacs have substances that destroy your kidney beyond repairs”
” that’s why we have consistently embarked on massive education on the need to ensure kidney health by avoiding certain practices”.
The Medical Practitioner later urged the Government to place more Tax on alcohol and aphrodisiacs to discourage people from patronising them.
