A member asked:
Bladder squamous metaplasia found what is this and is it causing the kidney and bladder pain?
12 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Change in the lining: Bladder squamous metaplasia means there are changes in the cells of the lining in the bladder, in a non-cancerous way, presumed due to frequent or ongoing irritation of the lining. The irritation is thought to be from chemicals like nitrosamines, cancer-causing toxins from smoking, bladder infections, bladder catheters, etc... Metaplasia itself should not be painful, so a urologist should examine.

Agree with Dr. K: Squamous metaplasia in the bladder is usually a result of some other disorder, like chronic infection, stones or toxic metabolites. It would be prudent to consult a urologist.
