Bladder stones are a condition treated by the urology department, requiring medical examination and treatment at a hospital. The treatment method chosen depends on the specific size of the stones. If the diameter of the stone is less than 7 millimeters, conservative treatment can be adopted, which involves drinking more water and urinating frequently to flush the stones out of the body. If the stones are larger, they need to be crushed before being expelled or directly removed through the use of a cystoscope. Under cystoscopy, stones can be crushed using a Holmium laser and then removed. After surgery, drinking plenty of water and urinating frequently can help prevent the recurrence of stones.
