10 Causes of Bladder Pain
Cause #6: Bladder Stones
A bladder stone refers to a stone that is found in the urinary bladder. These stones are small mineral deposits that develop from concentrated urine or during dehydration. These circumstances allow minerals such as magnesium or calcium to crystallize, which lead to the formation of stones. Symptoms include difficult urination, fever, painful urination, pain in the bladder, frequent urination, lower abdominal pain, back pain, and hematuria.
The pain is usually felt in waves and can be associated with chills, nausea, and vomiting. Treatment depends on the size of the stone and includes increasing fluid intake, fragmentation of stones using a cystoscope, lithotripsy, or surgery.
