URINARY BLADDER STONES

Treatment

Treatment for bladder stones depends on their size, number, and symptoms. Options include:

• Increasing Fluid Intake: For small stones, drinking plenty of fluids may help flush them out.
• Medications: Sometimes used to help dissolve certain types of stones or manage symptoms.
• Surgical Procedures:
  • Cystoscopic Stone Removal: Involves using a cystoscope to remove stones from the bladder. This is often done through the urethra.
  • Percutaneous Approaches: In rare cases, stones may be removed through a small incision in the abdomen.
  • Open Surgery: A more invasive option used rarely for very large or complicated stones.
