Other than prostate enlarge can cause men's bladder become smaller, what other causes can make our bladder shrink?

Most of times, bladder shrinkage refers to decrease its lower ability to accommodate bladder filling with urine, resulting from aging, long-term effect of bladder outlet obstruction, chronic bladder inflammation,... etc. Ask Doc..
