A member asked:

Will enlarged bladders eventually return to normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes: The bladder normally " shrinks" after urination and stretches as it fills. If your bladder becomes distended and you can't urinate, a Foley catheter can help it rest and return to normal size. Sometimes, if the bladder is chronically distended, it loses function and does not return to normal.
