Understanding Bladder Stones 

Bladder stones, also known as vesical calculi, are hard mineral deposits that form in the urinary bladder. These stones develop when minerals in urine crystallize and clump together, leading to pain, discomfort, and urinary complications.

If left untreated, bladder stones can cause infections, blockages, and damage to the bladder. Seeking timely medical intervention is essential to prevent complications. Dr. Uday Chandankhede, a highly skilled urologist in Pune, specializes in advanced bladder stones treatment, providing effective and minimally invasive solutions.

What Causes Bladder Stones? 

Bladder stones can develop due to various reasons, including:

1.Incomplete Bladder Emptying – When urine is not completely expelled, it can lead to mineral deposits forming stones.
2.Enlarged Prostate (BPH) – In men, an enlarged prostate can obstruct urine flow, leading to bladder stones.
3.Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) – Recurrent infections may contribute to stone formation.
4.Bladder Dysfunction – Conditions like neurogenic bladder can lead to incomplete emptying.
5.Dehydration – Not drinking enough water increases the concentration of minerals in urine.
6.Kidney Stones – Stones from the kidneys can travel to the bladder and grow in size.

Common Symptoms of Bladder Stones 

Bladder stones may not always cause symptoms, but when they do, they can be quite painful. Watch out for:

🔹 Frequent urination – A strong urge to urinate, often with little urine output.
🔹 Painful urination – A burning sensation while passing urine.
🔹 Blood in urine (Hematuria) – Urine appearing pink, red, or brown.
🔹 Lower abdominal pain – Discomfort or sharp pain in the lower belly.
🔹 Difficulty urinating – Interrupted urine flow or trouble starting urination.
🔹 Dark, cloudy, or foul-smelling urine – Indicating possible infection.

If you experience any of these symptoms, consult Dr. Uday Chandankhede for expert bladder stone treatment in Wakad, Pune.

Diagnosis of Bladder Stones 

To accurately diagnose bladder stones, Dr. Uday Chandankhede may recommend the following tests:

✔ Urinalysis – To check for infection, blood, or mineral buildup in urine.
✔ Ultrasound – A painless imaging test to detect stones in the bladder.
✔ X-ray or CT Scan – Provides a detailed view of the bladder to locate stones.
✔ Cystoscopy – A thin, flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the bladder for direct visualization.

Bladder Stones Treatment in Wakad, Pune 🚑

Treatment depends on the size, number, and severity of the stones. Dr. Uday Chandankhede provides advanced bladder stone treatments that ensure minimal discomfort and quick recovery.

1. Lifestyle Changes & Medication 

🔹 Hydration – Drinking plenty of water can help flush out small stones.
🔹 Dietary Modifications – Reducing calcium, oxalates, and sodium in your diet may prevent stone formation.
🔹 Medications – If an infection is present, antibiotics may be prescribed.

For small stones, increasing water intake and dietary adjustments may help them pass naturally. However, larger stones require medical intervention.

2. Minimally Invasive Procedures for Bladder Stones 🔬

🔹 Cystolitholapaxy (Endoscopic Laser Treatment)

• A non-surgical procedure where a cystoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted into the bladder.
• Laser or ultrasound waves break down the stones into smaller fragments.
• The stone fragments are then flushed out naturally through urine.
• Quick recovery & minimal discomfort – Most patients return home the same day!

🔹 Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)

• Uses high-energy shock waves to break large bladder stones into smaller pieces.
• These fragments pass out through urine gradually.
• Non-invasive and requires no cuts or incisions.

3. Surgical Treatments for Large Stones 🏥

In cases where stones are too large or cannot be broken down, surgery may be required:

🔹 Open Bladder Stone Removal Surgery

• Performed when other treatments fail or stones are extremely large.
• Involves making a small incision in the lower abdomen to remove stones.
• Rarely needed but highly effective in severe cases.

Dr. Uday Chandankhede will recommend the best bladder stone treatment option based on the patient’s condition.

Post-Treatment Recovery & Prevention 🏡

After bladder stone removal, follow these simple steps to prevent recurrence:

• Drink at least 2-3 liters of water daily to flush out minerals.
• Reduce sodium intake – Avoid excessive salt in your diet.
