Help on Health? Bladder stones?
I’m 16 this year. 4 days ago, I realised that there are sudden stops during urination. I do feel as though my bladder is not completely empty yet. I suspect that I might be having bladder stones. When I did some research over the internet, they did say ‘presence of blood in urine’ & ‘pain below the shoulder blade and below the ribs’.
But I experience not such pain at all. There’s also not a single trace of blood.
Can someone please tell me what I should do? I don’t want to go to the doctor’s. What can I do to check for stones myself? And how can I get rid of them?
Thanks in advance=)
For any sickness, not everyone will experience the same type of symptoms.
Your pain could also be kidney stone or UTI.
Try to drink as much of water as possible and take cranberry juice at the same time.
If the stones are not passed out or no improvement within 2 days you have to see a doctor.

3 Simple Steps to Cat Bladder Health
If your cat has been plagued with bladder stones or urinary tract infections, you may be wondering what you can do to promote cat bladder health. In this article, you’ll learn three simple, but important steps that you can take to treat and prevent pet bladder issues.
As you may know, cat urinary issues can be painful for your cat and expensive for you, as they often require multiple visits to the vet. Unless your cat has some kind of deformity, you can prevent these problems by making a few simple changes.
<i>Tip for cat health: bladder issues are often a result of improper diet.</i>
First, make sure your cat eats healthy cat food. Don’t trust the promises on the front of the packaging, instead read the label. Avoid cat food that contains chemicals: preservatives and additives and cheap grains and other ingredients that are merely fillers. The reason is clear: these cheap foods alter the pH level in the urinary tract, making your cat prone to bladder stones and urinary infections.
On a recent trip to the supermarket, I found only one brand out of ten top brands that had an ingredient list that contained only whole, natural foods. This brand was not a nationally-recognized brand. Although this cat food cost almost twice as much as the other brands, I reminded myself that I was buying it to ensure cat bladder health.
When I brought the back home from the store, my cat could smell the food through the bag. Instead of turning her nose up at this kibble, she wolfed it down. Although the cat food was more expensive initially, she actually ate less because she was getting much-needed nutrients instead of junk-food fillers, so she ate less.
The next step in promoting cat bladder health is to always make sure your cat has plenty of clean water. To remove the chemicals, make sure to filter the water first. This is an easy step, but it is important. Water will keep your cat hydrated and will flush toxins from the bladder.
<i>Tip for cat health: bladder issues can arise when your cat is dehydrated.</i>
Finally, make sure your cat takes a daily supplement designed specifically to promote cat bladder health. The best supplements are easy to administer and contain ingredients that are proven to work like Cantharis and Uva Ursi.
So there you have it: three simple steps to promote cat bladder health. Of course following such a program will increase your cat’s immunity overall and are the best insurance for a long and healthy life.

bladder and kidney health in young adult females??
how can i keep my bladder and kidneys healthy?’
Is it normal to urinate often throughout the day even though u drank a lot of water the day before but not necessary today?
One way you can keep your bladder and kidneys healthy is by drinking a lot of water. Drinking a lot of water helps to keep the area hydrated such as by keeping kidney stones (an example only) to a minimum. Another way is by making sure you go to the bathroom right away as soon as you start to get the urge to go potty. Delaying the trip to the bathroom for too long can create other problems.
As for going to the bathroom a lot during the day even with drinking water the day before, yes, sometimes it can be because your body is still trying to flush out what the water you drank tried to clean out. I have had that happen before, however, I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
