Can bladder infections be caused by kidney stones?

Answer 1

That is where the stones are "supposed to go", but on the way they lodge in the kidneys or more commonly the ureter, which leads from the kidneys. Breaking up or releasing the stone allows it to travel to the bladder, where it can be excreted from the body through the urethra (a much larger structure and not likely to be blocked).

The only other way for kidney stones to leave the body is through surgical removal, which is extremely rare.

Answer 2

It really depends. Small stones can sometimes be painless and pass out of your system through the normal urination process. Larger stones, however, are often painful and may block your ability to urinate. Fortunately, they can be treated and you should speak to your doctor about this. I enclose a link with reliable information about bladder stones.

Answer 3

Bladder stones are small deposits of minerals that form in the bladder. Common symptoms of bladder stones include pain when urinating and blood in the urine.

Answer 4

Of course, most times it can actually start with a bladder/urinary tract infection
