Ketamine Addiction Help in Pont Rhyd-y-cyff

Q: Can ketamine damage your bladder?

Yes. Heavy ketamine use causes ketamine-induced uropathy (ketamine bladder syndrome) — characterised by severe bladder pain, frequent urination, and in serious cases, bladder shrinkage requiring surgery. This is one of the most serious and distinctive health consequences of ketamine addiction. Stopping ketamine use can halt further damage.
