Detailed explanation-1: -Bladder stones are also called “vesical calculi” or “cystoliths.” They occur due to a buildup of minerals that happens if the bladder does not completely empty after urination. Eventually, the leftover urine becomes concentrated, and minerals within the liquid turn into crystals.
