| bladder inflammation | Also referred to as cystitis. Cystitis most commonly occurs because of bacterial infection. Another form of bladder inflammation, interstitial cystitis (IC) involves inflammation or irritation of the bladder wall. This can lead to scarring and stiffening of the bladder, and even ulcerations and bleeding. Diagnosis is based on symptoms, findings on cystoscopy and biopsy, and eliminating other treatable causes such as infection. Because doctors do not know what causes IC, treatments are aimed at relieving symptoms. Most people are helped for variable periods of time by one or a combination of treatments. (12 Dec 1998) |

| bladder neoplasms | Cancers or tumours of the bladder. The majority of bladder neoplasms are of the transitional cell variety and are usually papillary and multicentric. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bladder, neurogenic | Any condition of dysfunction of the urinary bladder caused by a lesion of the central or peripheral nervous system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bladder outlet obstruction | Any condition that results in the failure of urine to pass from the bladder and out the urethra. One of the most common causes of this in males is benign prostate enlargement. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bladder pain | Among the symptoms of bladder infection are feelings of pain, pressure and tenderness around the bladder, pelvis, and perineum (the area between the anus and vagina or anus and scrotum), which may increase as the bladder fills and decrease as it empties; decreased bladder capacity; an urgent need to urinate; painful sexual intercourse; and, in men, discomfort or pain in the penis and scrotum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bladder polyp | A pedunculated tumour that arises from the mucosal surface of the bladder. most are benign, but some may become malignant. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bladder reflex | Contraction of the walls of the bladder and relaxation of the trigone and urethral sphincter in response to a rise in pressure within the bladder; the reflex can be voluntarily inhibited and the inhibition readily abolished to control micturition. Synonym: bladder reflex, urinary reflex, vesical reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bladder rhabdomyosarcoma | <radiology> Usually arises at trigone, causes outlet obstruction leading to big bladder, Differential diagnosis: haemorrhagic cystitis (small bladder, filling defects) see: rhabdomyosarcoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| bladder schistosomiasis | Infection with Schistosoma haematobium, the eggs of which invade the urinary tract, causing cystitis and haematuria, and possibly an increased likelihood of bladder cancer. Synonym: bladder schistosomiasis, Egyptian haematuria, endemic haematuria, urinary schistosomiasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bladder stone | A condition where small stones form within the urinary tract. See: kidney stones. (27 Sep 1997) |
| body of urinary bladder | The portion of the bladder between the apex and fundus. Synonym: corpus vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cancer, bladder | Cancer of the organ responsible for temporarily holding urine after it leaves the kidneys. The most common warning sign of cancer in the bladder (the hollow organ in the lower abdomen that stores urine) is blood in the urine. The diagnosis of bladder cancer is supported by findings of the medical history and examination, blood, urine, and X-ray tests, and confirmed with a biopsy (usually during a cystoscope exam). (12 Dec 1998) |
| venous plexus of bladder | A plexus of veins around the fundus and sides of the bladder. Synonym: plexus venosus vesicalis, venous plexus of bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reflex neurogenic bladder | An abnormal condition of bladder function whereby the bladder is cut off from upper motor neuron control, but where the lower motor neuron arc is still intact. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compliance of bladder | Relationship of volume to pressure; can be calculated from a cytometrogram's pressure volume curve. Synonym: compliance of bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
