Bladder stones are hard pieces of mineral that form in the
bladder. The stones may form because of a urinary tract
infection or enlarged prostate. Bladder stones happen when urine
is concentrated and minerals crystallize and clump together.
Bladder stones may block the tube that carries urine from the
bladder to the outside of the body (urethra). The blocked tube
may cause trouble urinating, painful urination, or complete
inability to urinate. eMedicineHealth Medical Reference from
