Bladder Stone

A bladder stone, also known as a vesical calculus, is a hard deposit of minerals and organic material that can form in the urinary bladder. Bladder stones are usually the result of an accumulation of mineral deposits such as calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate, but can also contain other substances such as uric acid and struvite. Bladder stones can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Symptoms of bladder stones can include pain, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating. Treatment options for bladder stones include medication, surgery, and natural remedies.
