Bladder Stones
Bladder stones are hard masses formed from minerals in the bladder. They develop when the bladder doesn't empty completely, allowing minerals to crystallise. Common symptoms include lower abdominal pain and difficulty urinating. Risk factors for bladder stones include dehydration, urinary tract infections, and benign prostatic hyperplasia in men.
