The treatment of bladder stones should be based on the specific size and volume of the stones in the patient. For bladder stones smaller than 1.5 centimeters, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can be used. After the treatment, the patient should drink plenty of water and urinate frequently at home to facilitate the expulsion of the stones. One week later, the patient should return to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound to observe the condition of the stone expulsion. For bladder stones larger than 1.5 centimeters, surgery is often required.
