What is the treatment for bladder infection?
Patient: My mother is 54 years old and seems to be in good health passing all her test they have given her. but her bladder seems to be swollen. they thought it was just a bladder infection. and she seemed to get better. she is getting a vag ultra sound soon. wonder what it is. Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM.I appreciate your concern for your mother's health.If her bladder is distended, it means that either there is some lesion interfering with the free flow of urine from her urinary bladder or there can be some problem with the contraction of the bladder wall muscles. This can occur with a urethritis if she had a recent infection or with strictures from old infections.There can be some thickening of the urinary bladder wall from a urinary infection or it can be due to other lesions, benign or otherwise.A transvaginal ultrasound examination with post micturation volume will help to come to a proper diagnosis.Wish her a quick recovery.
