Patient's question:
What is the formation of bladder stones? Recently, I was diagnosed with bladder stones and don't know how I got this disease. What should I pay attention to in the future?Doctor's answer:
The typical symptoms of bladder stones include sudden interruption of urination and severe pain at the head of the penis. This is caused by the sudden impaction of the stone at the urethral orifice, leading to spasm of the bladder sphincter. Stone damage to the bladder mucosa can cause hematuria, and during infection, purulent urine may appear. Experts analyze that the formation factors or etiology mainly include seven points: (1) urinary system obstruction: including benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethral stricture, and bladder neck stricture. (2) patients with stroke or spinal cord injury who have been bedridden for a long time. (3) urinary tract infection (such as after suffering from gonorrhea, scarring may occur in the urethra). (4) bladder diverticulum. (5) stones that fall from the upper urinary tract. (6) primary stones. (7) foreign bodies in the bladder, etc.
