Asymptomatic Bladder Stones
Submitted by Nice Doctor on Wed, 12/09/2009 - 18:11.Question
My mother has stones in her bladder. She consulted a doctor in colombo who told her that she can wait for another three month and then take a scan. My mother is worried that if left untreated it can burst.
Is it necessary to leave it or do a surgery. No pain so far , only the scan shows that she has stone in the bladder.
Answer
Dear user,
Sometimes doctors find stones in the urinary tract on investigations and if they are not causing problems doctors recommend "watchful wait policy". As long as your mother is carefully followed up, you need not worry. Particulary there will not be "bursting" of bladder due to stones. Generally they pass with urine.
