A member asked:

I recently had an abdominal ct scan. the report states that the bladder wall is mildly thickened. what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably nothing: What symptoms? do you smoke? Any family history of bladder cancer? A lot more questions need to be answered before a doctor can give you a real answer.
