Bladder Calculi

Bladder calculi are hard mineral deposits that can form in the bladder. They can cause symptoms like pain, difficulty urinating, and blood in the urine. Bladder calculi are more common in men and can be caused by factors such as bladder outlet obstruction, urinary tract infections, or the presence of foreign bodies in the bladder. Treatment options include surgical removal or shockwave lithotripsy to break up the stones.
