Patients with bladder stones can eat vegetables in their diet. The main point is to avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods. For example, using a lot of chili peppers when frying vegetables is not advisable. Therefore, patients with bladder stones need to visit the urology department of the local hospital for formal treatment. For stones that are relatively small, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can be performed. For larger stones, surgical treatment is necessary, such as a minimally invasive transurethral ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. Only such measures can completely cure bladder stones.

Can bladder stones cause frequent and urgent urination?

Patients with bladder stones may experience frequent and urgent urination, and some may also experience painful urination or even blood in the urine. This is primarily due to the movement of stones within the bladder, which irritates the mucous membrane. It is essential to treat bladder stones promptly. Treatment can be sought at the urology department of local hospitals, where the choice of treatment method depends on the size of the stones. Options include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or surgical treatment.

Are bladder stones easy to pass?

Patients with bladder stones, if the stones are less than 0.5 cm in size, can promote the natural expulsion of the stones by drinking more water and urinating frequently. If the stones are larger, over 0.5 cm in size, treatment may require extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or surgery. For patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, generally, if the stones are between 0.5-1.5 cm in size, this treatment can be performed. After the treatment, it is also necessary to drink more water and urinate frequently to facilitate the expulsion of the stones. For larger stones, over 1.5 cm, surgical treatment is required.

What department should I go to for bladder stones?

Bladder stones are a condition treated by the urology department, requiring medical examination and treatment at a hospital. The treatment method chosen depends on the specific size of the stones. If the diameter of the stone is less than 7 millimeters, conservative treatment can be adopted, which involves drinking more water and urinating frequently to flush the stones out of the body. If the stones are larger, they need to be crushed before being expelled or directly removed through the use of a cystoscope. Under cystoscopy, stones can be crushed using a Holmium laser and then removed. After surgery, drinking plenty of water and urinating frequently can help prevent the recurrence of stones.

Clinical manifestations of bladder stones

Generally speaking, a typical clinical manifestation of bladder stones is the sudden interruption of urination. That is, the patient may start to urinate normally, but then suddenly becomes unable to urinate midway through. Urination can resume once the patient changes position. Therefore, this sudden interruption of urination is a classic symptom of bladder stones. Of course, bladder stones can also cause other urinary tract irritation symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgency, pain during urination, and hematuria (blood in urine).
