Cystolithiasis

Cystolithiasis is a disease characterized by the presence of stones (calculi) in the bladder. Stones can form directly in the bladder as a result of blockage, urinary retention and infection (primary stones), or enter the bladder from the kidneys (secondary stones).

Cystolithiasis can lead to a number of unpleasant symptoms, such as pain in the lower abdomen and bladder, frequent urination, and an intermittent stream of urine. In addition, blood can often be found in the urine.

Diagnosis of cystolithiasis includes a general urine test, ultrasound examination of the bladder, and radiography.

Treatment for cystolithiasis usually involves removing stones using surgical methods. In some cases, lithotripsy may be necessary, a method that uses strong shock waves to break up the stones.

In addition to surgical treatment, an important aspect of therapy is the prevention of bladder stones. To do this, it is necessary to maintain the correct drinking regimen, avoid hypothermia, monitor genital hygiene and promptly treat urinary tract infections.

Thus, cystolithiasis is a serious disease that can lead to unpleasant consequences. However, modern medicine provides effective methods for diagnosing and treating this disease, which allows for the timely detection and removal of bladder stones, as well as preventing their formation.

Cystolithiasis is a condition in which stones form in the bladder. They can be primary, that is, formed in the bladder itself, or secondary, that is, get there from the kidneys. Primary stones can result from bladder blockage, urinary retention, or infection. Secondary stones usually result from damage to the kidneys or urinary tract.

Bladder stones can cause various symptoms such as pain, blood in the urine, intermittent urine stream, and others. If the stones are not removed, they can lead to serious complications such as urinary tract infection, kidney failure, and even bladder cancer.

Surgery is usually performed to remove bladder stones. During the operation, the surgeon removes the stones and clears the urinary tract of stone debris. After surgery, the patient may experience some pain and discomfort, but this usually goes away within a few days.

After stone removal, you need to monitor your health and undergo regular medical examinations. This will help prevent recurrence of stones and other health problems.

Cystoliths are stones formed in the urinary tract. The formation of stones is possible in any part of the urinary tract: renal, pelvic, middle, distal. The presence of stones in a particular area can be judged by the clinical picture of the disease, according to which stones are divided into urate, oxalate, phosphate, and calcium. Mixed stones may form. Oxalates can be soft, dense and brittle, but most often they are dense and hard. Urate stones are in most cases quite soft, their density is much lower than that of oxalate and calcium stones. Uric acid is involved in the formation of urate stones. Salts are excreted from the body under normal conditions constantly, and also in small quantities (the norm is up to 25 mg per day). The exit of salts occurs through the kidneys, but sometimes their exit from the urinary organs is disrupted, which leads to the deposition of crystals in the kidneys, ureter, bladder and urine. The resulting calculus (urolithiasis) blocks the passage to the exit of urine from the bladder, which disrupts natural urination. The passage of urine becomes a painful process, often accompanied by the passage of mucus or blood into the urine. The urge to urinate becomes more frequent and is accompanied by severe pain. Urination in drops (dysuria). Urinary retention occurs due to pain when passing, which becomes stronger with each urge. This pathology has its own complications: inflammation of the urinary canal, anaerobic cystitis, rupture of the organ wall, acute form of renal colic. In renal failure, a stone can break away from the wall of the ureter, move to any part of the urinary system and compress the organ. This first leads to the development of a sluggish form of inflammation in the kidney, then it progresses
