Bladder Stone Homeopathic Treatment in Lucknow

What is a Bladder Stone?

A Bladder Stone is a hard mass of minerals that forms inside the urinary bladder. It develops when urine in the bladder becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallise and stick together. Over time, these crystals grow into stones of varying sizes.

Bladder stones can occur in men, women, and children, but they are more common in older men due to prostate problems that prevent complete bladder emptying.

Small bladder stones may pass out naturally, but larger stones can cause pain, urinary problems, and infections if left untreated.

Why do Bladder Stones form?

Bladder stones usually form when the bladder does not empty completely. When urine remains in the bladder, minerals settle and crystallise.

The longer the urine stays in the bladder, the higher the chance of stone formation.

How does the urinary system work?

The urinary system includes:

• Kidneys (filter waste from blood)
• Ureters (carry urine to the bladder)
• Bladder (stores urine)
• Urethra (passes urine out)

When the bladder does not empty properly, leftover urine becomes concentrated, leading to stone formation.

Common Causes of Bladder Stones

1. Incomplete Bladder Emptying: The most common cause, often due to:

• Enlarged prostate (BPH)
• Urethral stricture
• Weak bladder muscles

2. Bladder Outlet Obstruction: Any blockage at the bladder outlet increases urine retention.

3. Urinary Tract Infections: Certain infections change urine composition, increasing stone risk.

4. Neurogenic Bladder: Nerve problems affecting bladder control (due to diabetes, spinal injury).

5. Foreign Bodies: Long-term catheters or stitches inside the bladder may act as a nucleus for stone formation.

6. Dehydration: Low fluid intake concentrates urine, increasing stone risk.

Who is at risk of Bladder Stones?

People at higher risk include:

• Older men (especially with prostate enlargement)
• Patients with long-term catheters
• People with recurrent UTIs
• Individuals with bladder emptying problems
• Those with poor hydration habits
• Children in regions with poor nutrition
