Bladder stones are hard mineral deposits that form inside the urinary bladder. They may develop when the bladder does not empty completely or due to other urinary tract-related factors. Some bladder stones may cause no noticeable symptoms, while others can result in pain, difficulty urinating, frequent urination or blood in the urine.
Dr. Ankush Sharma provides evaluation and treatment guidance for patients experiencing symptoms associated with bladder stones. The assessment may include understanding urinary symptoms, medical history and possible underlying causes. Investigations may be recommended to identify the size and location of the stone and assess the urinary system.
Treatment planning depends on factors such as:
- Size and number of stones
- Difficulty emptying the bladder
- Underlying urinary problems
For suitable patients, minimally invasive endoscopic treatment may be considered. The hospital provides CLT – Cystolithotripsy as an endoscopic option for bladder stone management.
