Medical Must-See:Â Doctors investigate teen’s pelvic pain, leaving no stone unturned
The 14-year-old patient had experienced recurrent UTIs for years.
This teenage girl’s persistent pelvic pain had a cause rarely seen in modern developed countries: a giant bladder stone, measuring 7.5×5.3cm.
The patient, 14, had years of recurrent UTIs and intermittent lower abdomen discomfort, and reported habitual urinary retention but not dysuria.
After conducting a transvaginal ultrasound, her gynaecologist identified the large bladder stone and referred her to a major urology department in Luxembourg.
The hospital doctors noted lower abdominal tenderness but were unable to palpate a mass.
