A 7mm bladder stone, though relatively small, can still lead to discomfort and urinary issues. The method for removing bladder stones is determined by factors such as the stone's size, location, and the patient's overall health. Here are the primary methods: 1. Lithotripsy: Lithotripsy, specifically Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), is a non-invasive procedure that employs shock waves to break the stone into smaller pieces, which can pass through urine. 2. Cystolitholapaxy: This minimally invasive procedure involves inserting a thin tube (cystoscope) into the bladder. The stone is either fragmented into smaller pieces or removed using laser or ultrasound technology. 3. Surgery: In rare cases, when other methods are ineffective or unsuitable, surgical removal of the bladder stone may be necessary. For further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Under the services tab, click "Second Opinion" or "Doctor Consultation." Our team of experts will help you connect with a reputable urologist who can evaluate the situation and recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
