Dr. Cao Zhiqiang
Typical symptoms of bladder stones mainly include:
1. Frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination: These are the most common symptoms of bladder stones. Patients may feel a frequent need to urinate, even when the volume of urine is small, and may experience pain or a burning sensation during urination.
2. Hematuria (blood in the urine): Stimulation and damage to the bladder mucosa caused by the stones can lead to hematuria, with blood threads or clots possibly present in the urine.
3. Lower abdominal pain or perineal discomfort: When stones move within the bladder, they may irritate or press against the bladder wall, causing pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen or perineal area.
4. Interruption of urination: During urination, stones may suddenly block the bladder neck or posterior urethra, causing the urine stream to stop abruptly. Urination may resume after changing body position.
5. Bladder irritative symptoms: Such as frequent urination and urgency, which result from the stone irritating the bladder wall. If a secondary infection occurs, these symptoms may worsen.
If the above symptoms occur, prompt medical attention is necessary for diagnosis and treatment.
