Kidney , Ureter & Bladder Stones

 When a stone leaves the kidney, it travels to the bladder through the ureter and might get stuck during its journey because of it’s size. These Urinary tract stones start to grow in a kidney and might even grow in a ureter or the bladder. As per its location, this stone may be termed as a kidney stone, urethral stone, or bladder stone. Talking about bladder stones they develop when minerals in concentration urine crystallize. If we sum up different methods of stone production they are termed as urolithiasis, renal lithiasis, or nephrolithiasis. Stones are more prevalent among mid-life and older men. They vary in size from too meager to be detected with the naked eye to 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) or larger in diameter.
