Bladder Stone Treatment in Kopar Khairane
Bladder stones form when minerals build up in the bladder, often because it is not emptying fully. Removing a stone may relieve symptoms, but finding out why urine is being retained is just as important.

Symptoms that deserve attention
Lower abdominal discomfort, interrupted urine flow, burning, repeated infections or blood in urine may occur. Some people notice that starting or finishing urination becomes difficult.
How the problem is assessed
The assessment may include urine tests and an ultrasound to look at the bladder, residual urine and prostate when relevant. Cystoscopy, which uses a small camera to inspect the bladder, may be recommended. A history of catheter use or difficulty emptying the bladder is useful.
Treatment options to discuss
A urologist may break up and remove the stone through a telescope passed along the urethra. Larger stones or particular circumstances may require another surgical approach. Treatment of an enlarged prostate, obstruction or bladder emptying problem may also be needed. Antibiotics are used when clinically indicated, not as a way to dissolve the stone.
Recovery and follow up
A catheter may be needed temporarily. Short-lived burning or blood in urine can follow instrumentation; persistent or worsening symptoms need review. Infection, bleeding and injury to the urinary passage are possible risks. Follow-up focuses on emptying the bladder and reducing the chance of another stone.
When to seek urgent help
Seek urgent care if you cannot pass urine, have fever with urinary symptoms or pass clots that obstruct urine flow.
Planning your visit
Bring your previous reports and a list of medicines, including non-prescription products. Ask the doctor what the proposed treatment is intended to achieve, what alternatives are available and what follow-up will involve. Tell the team about any allergies or earlier problems with anaesthesia.
For current consultation fees or a treatment estimate, contact Apex Hospital. The amount depends on the assessment, investigations and care required. Ask what is included and whether any follow-up, medicines or consumables are billed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Are bladder stones the same as kidney stones?
No. They occur in different parts of the urinary tract and may have different underlying causes.
Will drinking more water remove a bladder stone?
Not reliably. An established stone and any bladder emptying problem need assessment.
Can an enlarged prostate lead to bladder stones?
It can contribute by preventing the bladder from emptying properly. Other causes are also possible.
