Patients with bladder stones can eat vegetables in their diet. The main point is to avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods. For example, using a lot of chili peppers when frying vegetables is not advisable. Therefore, patients with bladder stones need to visit the urology department of the local hospital for formal treatment. For stones that are relatively small, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can be performed. For larger stones, surgical treatment is necessary, such as a minimally invasive transurethral ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. Only such measures can completely cure bladder stones.

Is bladder calculus severe?

Bladder stones are not a particularly serious disease. Bladder stones are a common disease in the urinary system, mainly caused by the migration of kidney stones down the ureters into the bladder. Another scenario is that obstructions in the urinary tract prevent urine from being completely expelled from the bladder, leading to the formation of bladder stones over time. The treatment for bladder stones is relatively simple. For bladder stones that are less than two centimeters in size, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can be used. For bladder stones larger than two centimeters, minimally invasive surgery can be performed.

What department should I go to for bladder stones?

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.
