Question 1

what causes the bladder to hurt in men?

Accepted Answer

Similar with women: Bladder pain felt by a patient can be due to problems in the bladder or due to issues near the bladder. Infection in the bladder can cause pain. Cystitis (bladder inflammation) that is not from infection is another cause. Trauma causes pain. Distention (overfilling) hurts. Men can get prostate problems; women get pregnancy problems. A urine test and doctor's exam helps.

Question 2

what' causes strep in the bladder? what are the symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Bladder strep germs: Bladder strep germs are usually group b streptococcus, which are common germs in the colon, which don't have much difficulty getting into the bladder (which is why always to wipe front to back). The symptoms are those of an ordinary bladder infection, burning, frequency, urgency when you pee. Sometimes the germ causes no symptoms. The problem is greatest  during pregnancy as it can infect baby.

Question 3

what can cause the bladder to be permanently incontinent?

Accepted Answer

Nerve damage: The most common cause for permanent incontinence is some type of nerve damage. The nerve damage could be traumatic,  such as a severed spinal cord,  problems with back where nerves are compressed, or disorders that affect the signals from bladder to brain, such as Multiple Sclerosis . Hope that helps you for whatever prompted your question.

Question 4

can dehydration cause the bladder to function improperly?

Accepted Answer

Kidney: Much more often it is the kidneys that have problems with dehydration.  The bladder is more of a storage place for urine but the kidneys have to make so it can be stored.

Question 5

what causes buildup of calcium and tissue behind the bladder?

Accepted Answer

Residual urine: This may occur if the urine is not completely emptied after micturation.  This is called residual urine--it never leaves.  The most common reasons are obstruction--an enlarged prostate, urethral stricture, or low bladder voiding pressures due to neurological or other diseases.  Diabetes, for example can lead to poor bladder emptying.  There may also have been prior infections or surgery.

Question 6

what is the cause of the inability to empty all the bladder in children (11 years old)?

Accepted Answer

Anatomic or neurogen: Think big categories and it could be either related to anatomy and obstruction, or it may have to do with the innervation of the bladder (neurogenic).

Question 7

what are the causes of a mild  cystocele of the bladder?

Accepted Answer

Cystocele: A mild cystocele is consider a mild bladder prolapse that does not extend into the vaginal opening when asked to "bear down."  common causes include pregnancy f/b vaginal delivery, hysterectomy , age, obesity.

Question 8

can the bladder cause discharge from the pennis?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: It can, but more likely it is coming from your urethra or prostate.  You may have a bacterial infection or STI.  I would see a physician for more tests.

Question 9

does holding in urine cause problems to the bladder?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Holding and storing large volumes of urine is not healthy for the bladder. It can stretch the wall of the bladder, to which it responds by thickening. Over a long period of time, your bladder may not be able to contract efficiently and expel the urine. This is especially bad for men, because as they age, the prostate gland can obstruct the bladder making the contraction more important.

Question 10

calcification of the bladder is it cause for worry?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely because: the urinary bladder&#x27;s role is to be a distensible bag which collapses to less than 5 cc yet able to expand to several hundred cc of urine. Calcium in walls reduces tissue flexibility plus there must be marked ongoing wall damage to result in this calcification response to the point it can be detected, reflecting a significant ongoing internal body destructive behavior, on whatever basis.
