What is a Bladder Stone?

A bladder stone is a hard mass of minerals that forms inside the urinary bladder. It usually develops when urine stays in the bladder for a long time and becomes concentrated. Over time, the minerals in the urine crystallize and turn into stones.

Bladder stones can cause pain, difficulty in passing urine, and infections if not treated on time. At Ratna Memorial Hospital, we provide advanced and safe bladder stone treatment in Pune with experienced urologists and modern technology.

What Causes Bladder Stones?

Bladder stones commonly occur due to:

Incomplete emptying of the bladder
Enlarged prostate in men
Urinary tract infections (UTI)
Nerve-related bladder problems
Presence of foreign objects in the bladder
Kidney stones that move into the bladder

If urine remains in the bladder for long periods, it becomes concentrated and forms crystals, which gradually turn into stones.

Symptoms of Bladder Stones

Some people may not notice symptoms at first, but common signs include:

Pain in the lower abdomen
Pain or burning while passing urine
Frequent urge to urinate
Difficulty in passing urine
Blood in urine
Cloudy or dark-colored urine
Interrupted urine flow

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

This is a common and effective procedure where a thin tube with a camera is inserted through the urethra into the bladder. The stone is broken into small pieces using laser or ultrasonic energy and then removed.

2. Laser Bladder Stone Removal

Laser technology helps in breaking stones into tiny fragments with minimal pain and faster recovery.
