Bladder stones symptoms, signs and dietary taboos

Bladder stones are a common stone disease and are extremely harmful to men's health. What are the symptoms of this disease and how can it be prevented?

Symptoms

1. Pain during urination Pain during urination can be caused by the stimulation of the bladder mucosa by the stones. It manifests as dull pain in the lower abdomen and perineum, or it can be obvious or severe pain. The pain worsens after activity, and the pain can be relieved by changing the body position. It is often accompanied by symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination, and the pain worsens at the end of urination. Child patients often pull the penis due to severe pain during urination, cry and sweat profusely. In order to avoid pain during urination, children will urinate in a special position, that is, bend their knees forward and lean their trunk back 30° when standing. Once the urine stream becomes thin or the urine flow is interrupted, change the body position immediately and continue urinating after the stone is removed.

2. Urinary obstruction When the stone is embedded in the bladder neck, it may cause obvious urination difficulties and typical urination interruption phenomenon, and may also cause acute urinary retention. Patients with prostatic hyperplasia already have symptoms of urination difficulties. For example, the prostate is huge in size, protruding into the bladder and raising the position of the urethral opening. The stone is not easy to block the urethral opening, so urination interruption phenomenon will not occur.

3. Hematuria is mostly terminal hematuria. When bladder stones are complicated by infection, bladder irritation symptoms and purulent urine may occur.
