I have symptoms of urinating with a lot of stones.
they are the size of grains of sand which are colored orange
(calcium oxalate). It is really alarming to pee and see them in numerous amonts

Why is this happening? three months ago i had a cystholithotomy where the doctor
extracted 3 big bladder stones 3x3 in size.

Any advise will be helpful?

Yeah, see a urologist. You have to drink a lot of water too. I chug water all day long. Try to be sterile with your catheter management also.

I went to see my uro and other than prescribing acalka,
he advised me to use sterile water injected for cleansing the bladder
and then catheterized. I am not sure if this procedure is done
in other countries.


I just noticed that when I drink lots of fresh coconut juice,
I get to expel / urinate tiny bladder stones. Maybe coconut juice
has some special effect

bunkalar, have you developed kidney or bladder stones?

I have a similar problem. Mine is an off white colour and has most the time consistancy of chalk. You can actually squash it between your fingers and mines grainy too. I told my specialist and he said nowt. Great care eh, lol
I do it erratically, often with bits fallling off.

The griddy, grainey, material in the urine clumps together and turns into stones.
In 17 yrs I've had surgery 3 times to remove stones.
It's caused by bacteria introduced with catheters, etc.

I take cranberry pills,
(not sure how much they help)
and sterile procedure with everything invasive.

My current urologist wants me to take antibiotics daily.
But I don't.
My previous urologist warned me against it.

Can't get anything to come up on the web about acalka.
Can you tell us what it is?

ACALKA is a potassium citrate. Treatment for patients with renal lithiasis and hypocitraturia, chronic formers of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate calculi ...
this is what is written from the bottle.

how come you dont take antibiotics anymore somebody?

Thanks I'll look it up more.
Is it helping?

Because your body will be come immune to the antibiotic,
and it will stop working.
Then you'll need a stronger one, another stronger one.
Till there won't be any to take.
Then you're in trouble when you get an infection.
