There are no symptoms for kidney stones once they reach the bladder. They are effectively on their way out of the body through the urethra.
When lodged in the ureter on the way to the bladder, kidney stones generate two major symptoms. The primary one is moderate to severe pain felt in the lower back, which increases unless the stone passes. A second common symptom is the urge to urinate when the bladder is already empty.
The first sign, which is usually apparent only to those who have already experienced a kidney stone, is a small twinge of discomfort on either side of the lower back (the side the stone may form in). This can also be caused by thickening of kidney fluids, triggered by insufficient water intake or by certain compounds removed by the kidney.

Where do bladder stones form?
Bladder stones can form anywhere in the urinary tract before depositing in the bladder. They begin as tiny granules about the size of a grain of sand, but they can grow to more than an inch in diameter.
What does transvesical ureterolithotomy through the bladder remove?
Transvesical ureterolithotomy through the bladder is a surgical procedure used to remove kidney stones that have traveled into the ureter. This involves making an incision in the bladder to access the ureter and remove the stones, helping to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications associated with kidney stones.
What are pancreatic stones?
stones are formed in the gall bladder and in the kidneys, not in the pancreas
What does it mean when you pee and your bladder sill feels full and your urine smells a little?
Having a sensation of fullness in your bladder and noticing a strong odor in your urine can be signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI). It is important to see a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment if you experience these symptoms.
What interferes with the flow of urine to bladder?
Conditions such as kidney stones, enlarged prostate, bladder stones, or tumors can interfere with the flow of urine to the bladder. These conditions can cause blockages in the urinary tract, leading to difficulty in passing urine. Prompt medical attention is necessary to address the underlying cause.
