Bladder Stones
Bladder stones are hard, mineral-rich lumps that form in the bladder. When the minerals in concentrated urine solidify and form stones, they produce kidney stones. When you have difficulties entirely emptying your bladder, this is a common occurrence.
Bladder stones occur when minerals in the bladder pile up and form tiny “stones.” Bladder stones, which mostly afflict elderly men, can be painful, but there are several treatment options available.
