Diagnosis of Bladder stones

If it is suspected that you have a bladder stone, your doctor will refer you to hospital for tests such as an abdominal x-ray, which will show up any stones. Bladder stones can also be detected through a dye test or by using ultrasound equipment.

Abnormalities in the bladder can also be viewed by cystoscopy. In this procedure a thin hollow viewing tube is inserted into the urethra in order to view the inside of the bladder. Blood and urine samples may be taken in order to rule out any underlying metabolic disorders.
