If a kidney stone reaches the bladder after fragmentation, if it is only a relatively small stone, it will not normally block the bladder; if it is a larger stone, the possibility of blocking the bladder outlet cannot be ruled out.
If the kidney stone is relatively small, the diameter of the stone into the ureter is also relatively small, the number is relatively small, usually not enough to cause complete blockage of the bladder, by drinking more water or increase the amount of activity, can assist in discharging the small stones, to prevent bladder blockage.
However, in the case of larger kidney stones, the stones that enter the bladder after lithotripsy are also larger and relatively more in number, which may block the bladder outlet, easily resulting in the inability to urinate normally and significant pain, including bladder pain and lower back pain.
If kidney stones enter the bladder after lithotripsy, we need to know the exact location of the stones and the size of the stones through imaging tests, to clarify the situation of bladder blockage, and then according to the results of the examination targeted treatment.
