The depositing of minerals in the bladder over time sometimes forms bladder stones. You could have one of several types of stones formed, depending on the exact cause: calcium oxalate stones are among the most common, and are (contrary to what you might expect) an indirect result of a lack of calcium in the diet; uric acid stones, which form when the urine is excessively acidic, particularly when it has high uric content; and stones composed of a variety of minerals and other substances, caused by several different factors.
Normally the minerals in the urine do start to concentrate and get diluted, but they are regularly flushed out along with the urine.
It is not until the bladder stones start affecting the normal bodily functions or obstruct the urine flow that you notice any symptoms. Some of the common symptoms are pain in the abdomen and the presence of blood in the urine. It is easier to deal with small or tiny bladder stones, as they eventually get flushed out with the urine; it is the larger ones that are difficult to deal with.
If the stones don’t naturally flush out, you might need to obtain professional medical attention.
There are also a few home remedies that you can try to get rid of bladder stones. The most important requirement is that you increase your water intake – start drinking large quantities of water during the day. This will of course increase the frequency of urination, thus increasing the probability of flushing out the stones when you pass urine. Drinking barley water regularly is also thought to help against the bladder stones. You should also start following a healthy diet with adequate intake of veggies, fresh fruits, sprouts, cereals, and beans. Other foods that can help are horseradish and cherries. These, along with apple juice, are thought to help treat bladder stones much faster. Besides changing your diet, you should also give your body a small amount of regular activity or exercise.
Some traditional methods used to fight bladder stone are stone root, gravel root, and hydrangea. These herbs can be used in various mixtures, including as herbal teas. One traditional remedy is to take a hot cloth, soak it in a bit of olive oil, and leave it on the lower part of the abdomen. There is no evidence that this works in any way, but many people claim that this helps in dissolving the bladder stones.
