BLADDER CALCULI WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

WHAT ARE BLADDER CALCULI

Bladder calculi are hard mineral stones that form in the bladder due to concentrated urine or incomplete emptying.

WHY THESE STONES FORM

Stones form when urine stays too long in the bladder. Minerals crystallize and create solid deposits.

MAIN RISK FACTORS

Common risks include BPH, neurogenic bladder, UTIs, and urethral blockage. These conditions reduce urine flow.

TYPES OF BLADDER STONES

Stones may be calcium oxalate, uric acid, struvite, or calcium phosphate. Knowing the type guides treatment.

LOOK AT THE BLOG

COMMON SYMPTOMS

Symptoms include pelvic pain, burning urination, frequent urges, and blood in the urine.

HOW DOCTORS DIAGNOSE IT

Ultrasound, CT scans, urinalysis, and stone analysis help confirm the diagnosis and plan treatment.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Small stones may pass with hydration. Larger stones need cystolitholapaxy or laser removal.

PREVENTION TIPS

Drink more water, manage UTIs, treat BPH, and maintain healthy bladder habits to prevent recurrence.
