Four common factors causing bladder stones

Bladder stones are a common disease in men's daily life, with a high incidence rate. Don't think that this disease is no big deal. In fact, after suffering from this disease, men often feel abnormal abdominal pain, unable to urinate and eat normally, and very painful. So, what are the causes of this disease?

1. Bladder exstrophy-epispadias causing bladder stones:

Foreign research reports that among 530 cases of bladder exstrophy and epispadias, 77 had stones, most of which occurred in the bladder. Before bladder and urethral reconstruction, there were anatomical, histological and functional abnormalities, which made it easy to form stones.

2. Bladder stones caused by foreign bodies in the bladder:

Foreign bodies in the bladder such as catheters, surgical sutures, bullet heads, fishing lines, hairpins, wires, etc. can serve as cores for the deposition of urine salts and form stones.

3. Infection causes bladder stones:

Bladder stones are secondary to lower urinary tract obstruction or infection by bladder foreign bodies, especially infection by urea-decomposing bacteria, which can increase urine pH and promote the precipitation of urinary calcium phosphate, ammonium and magnesium salts to form bladder stones.

4. Lower urinary tract obstruction causes bladder stones:

Many kidney stones, small stones in the ureter, and urine salt crystals formed in an oversaturated state can be discharged into the bladder and excreted with urine. However, when there is lower urinary tract obstruction due to urethral stenosis, congenital malformations, prostatic hyperplasia, bladder neck obstruction, cystocele, diverticulum, tumor, etc., small stones and urine salt crystals will precipitate in the bladder to form bladder stones. This is also the reason why bladder stones are common in male children and the elderly today.
