Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts. That’s why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

About urology
Vesical calculus (bladder stone) is a solid mass that forms in the bladder due to mineral crystallization, often when urine is concentrated or obstructed. Patients usually present with suprapubic pain, difficulty urinating, poor urine stream, dysuria, and sometimes blood in urine. Treatment depends on stone size: small stones may pass naturally, while larger stones require surgical removal to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.

Background
Adam Mustapha is a 13-year-old boy from a modest household. He is active, enjoys playing football with his friends, and helps his family with small errands after school. Adam is hardworking and hopes to become a mechanical engineer in the future so he can support his family and contribute meaningfully to society. He has generally been in good health prior to this illness, with no known chronic medical conditions or previous surgeries. Adam Mustapha, a 13-year-old male, presented with lower abdominal pain and difficulty with urination for 2 weeks. The pain was suprapubic, intermittent, and worsened during micturition. There was associated painful urination, increased urinary frequency, and intermittent passage of blood-stained urine. His parents also noticed straining at urination and poor urine stream. There was no history of fever, vomiting, or loin pain. No previous history of urinary surgery. He had been well prior to the onset of symptoms. No known drug allergies. Based on clinical assessment and imaging findings, a diagnosis of vesical calculus was made. Surgical intervention (cystolithotomy) is planned, pending approval from the Helpster Charity Foundation.

Prognosis
Adam's bladder stone is Larger as shown in the x-ray and this stone can be difficult to get rid of it through the urethra without surgery.As larger bladder stones often require treatment with procedures like lithotripsy, which uses sound waves to break the stones into smaller pieces, or surgical removal.Bladder stone can easily lodge in the urethra which is the canal for urine passage causing urine retention, unbearable pain, restlessness and in extreme situation damages the entire kidneys.Prompt treatment via surgery with medication such as antibiotics,fluids and painkiller is very essential to salvage this child and significantly improve his life.
