Can bladder Trabeculation be reversed?
Conclusion: Bladder hypertrophy was completely reversible after the surgical treatment of the obstruction in the majority of patients with BPH.
What are Trabeculations of the bladder?
Bladder trabeculation happens when the walls of the bladder thicken, making them harder to contract. When that happens, it’s harder for people to completely empty their bladder when they urinate. Bladder trabeculation can occur in both men and women. The leading cause is an obstruction to the urethra.
What causes urinary bladder wall thickening?
Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a painful condition in which the bladder wall becomes irritated and inflamed. Chronic inflammation can cause scarring and thickening of the bladder wall, making the bladder very stiff and unable to hold a normal amount of urine.
Can a stretched bladder repair itself?
Treatment options Prompt diagnosis is important because there is no way to repair the muscles of the bladder once they have been overstretched. Treatment of the cause will prevent further bladder damage and could mean that your symptoms remain mild.
How long does a stretched bladder take to heal?
Stretching may temporarily block pain signals sent by nerves in the bladder. Sometimes your pain symptoms may temporarily get worse 4 to 48 hours after bladder stretching. However, your pain levels should return to your previous level or improve within 2 to 4 weeks.
What is bladder trabeculation and how is it treated?
Bladder trabeculation occurs when the bladder walls thicken, making it more difficult for the bladder to contract correctly. This, therefore, makes it more difficult for people to empty their bladders when they need to urinate. Bladder trabeculation is a condition that can affect both men and women.
How does trabeculation of the bladder affect the kidneys?
When the muscle walls of the bladder lose their tone, the urine may flow back towards the kidneys, which can lead to infection. Trabeculation of the bladder affects the amount of urine that the bladder can hold and the way that it empties.
What causes bladder trabeculation in children?
Bladder trabeculation in children can be caused by congenital bladder conditions (conditions that they are born with). Certain valves within the urethra can narrow or block the ureter or urethra, causing bladder trabeculation. Bladder trabeculation can also be caused by other conditions, including:
What was bladder trabeculation like in Group 1 patients before surgery?
Results: In group 1 patients before surgery, there was severe bladder trabeculation in 14 (61%), hydronephrosis in 13 (57%) and associated vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR) in 16 (70%). The mean detrusor leak-point pressure (DLPP) was 49.7 cmH2O and the bladder neck was open in nine (39%).
