Bladder

Stones Bladder stones are hard mineral accumulations that form in the bladder. The stones can range in size from small grains of sand to large lumps. They are formed when there is an accumulation of certain minerals in the bladder that are unable to be eliminated through urination. Bladder stones can cause pain, difficulty urinating, increased urinary frequency and urgency, and infection. Treatment of bladder stones typically involves medications and/or surgery, depending on the size and number of stones. Early detection and treatment of bladder stones can reduce the risk of complications.
