Bladder Wall Thickening

[Beth15]

Can anyone tell me what causes diffusely bladder wall thickening?  It showed up on a CT scan that I had yesterday.  Doctor's office called to say that I need to have a cystoscopy which they scheduled for Friday, November 10.  When I asked what could cause the thickening the nurse wouldn't give me a straight answer.  The initial CT scan was for microscopic hematuria. No sign of infection in bloodwork.  Went to see doctor for weight loss(9 pounds)in the last couple of weeks - no pain, just some mild discomfort.  Also unable to keep food down, scheduled to have endoscopy and colonoscopy at the end of the month. Thanks in advance for your help - would like to know what I might be dealing with prior to seeing the urologist and having the procedure done.

I have had right flank and back pain and testicular pain for about five months. I went to the doctor last week to see what was up. He checked me for hernias and that was neg. he told me he suspected kidney stones. I took a non contrast ct scan, blood work, and a urine analysis test the same day. The urine test was neg for any blood or infection. A few days later he called me with the results of the blood work and ct scan. He said I had multiple calcifications either in the right kidney or ureter. But he said he was concerned that my bladder was dissented with thick walls. He told me he wanted a contrast ct done and was referring me to a urologist. The blood work was neg for everything else including infection. I am still waiting for my call from the urologist and the date for my second act scan. Should I be worried? I have also had an upset stomach/nausea for around the same amount of time. I'm only 24 I used to chew, and have been around some nasty smoke/ chemicals due to my line of work.

I had flank pain for 2 years, as well as hematuria & other symptoms, and was misdiagnosed with UTI's during that time.  Today (4-22-14) I went to a Urologist appointment to find out I have Urethral Syndrome, and the pains, etc were never a UTI.  I'm SO glad I was finally referred to him.  He is one of the best Dr's I've ever visited.  He knew within 5-10 minutes what my problem was.  I hope this helps you.

I would most certianly find another MD. You are not getting the answers you need and NO BLOOD should be found in urine. If your daughter is in pain and is not urinating on a regular basis, and I am not talking about a dribble here and there then I would get a 2nd opinion. Just because he has a MD behind his name dose not mean he is right. Get a 2nd opinion. She is YOUR child and it is up to YOU to look out for her health.

I am a 25 y.o female. I have a long history of uti, kidney stones, and kidney infections. I was recently diagnosed with a uretricpelvic junction obstruction and a urethral stricture this past december as well as dilated renal collecting systems and thickening of the bladder.i have back pain and this cramping pain under my ribs. I see the mayo clinic for the first time on may 7th and was just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with these diagnosis.?? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

It is so great to find an online place to have these questions asked and answered. Not everyone wants to discuss urinary incontinence treatment or bladder wall thickening and colonoscopy tests with their friends and family, or even their doctor. I hope all goes well with your tests; it sounds like you've got a busy month at the doctor. I hope they figure out what caused the problem and find a way to fix it.
