What is the difference between kidney stones and bladder stones?

Everyone must have heard of kidney stones and bladder stones. This is a type of stone found through urine blood examination. The cause of its formation has a lot to do with one's own kidneys and bad living habits. Through bacterial invasion and problems with the body's soft tissues, stones are formed through calcification. So how do you distinguish between kidney stones and bladder stones? In which specific parts do stones usually grow?

In general, most patients with kidney stones and bladder stones feel pain, a small number of patients have intermittent pain (not much pain), and most have surprising pain, even sweating all over. The pain of kidney stones is radiating, that is, the pain is not necessarily in the kidney. The waist, upper thighs and other parts around the stones may also hurt. I think it should be related to the nerves around the stones! Another symptom is hematuria. Most patients have microscopic hematuria (visible under a microscope, not visible to the naked eye), and a small number of people have hematuria directly observed with the naked eye.

The difference between the two:

Kidney stones are in the kidneys, bladder stones are in the bladder. The physiological structure of the human body is that the kidneys are above the bladder. The function of the kidneys is to reabsorb nutrients in the primary urine (primary urine: not yet formed into real urine, it contains a lot of sugar and other nutrients). The kidneys are those two semicircular shapes (about 10cm long and 3cm wide). If you still don’t understand, you can look for medical images. The function of the bladder is to store urine and excrete it when the urine accumulates to a certain amount!

After reading the above article, I believe you have some understanding of kidney stones and bladder stones. The reason why many experts ask people to drink more water and defecate more often in their lives is to prevent the occurrence of kidney stones. Once you suffer from kidney stones, you will experience radiating pain, so precautions are essential.
