Bladder Disorders

Inflammation of the urinary bladder is usually due to infection by a germ, together with a lowered state of health. Some types of germs are so powerful that they alone will cause inflammation of the bladder, but these are not common.

The causes which tend to lower the body’s resistance are injury or congestion of the bladder wall and stagnation of the urine. Stagnation of the urine may be due to a variety of causes in the passage from the

bladder to the exterior (the urethra), such as stricture (narrowing of the passage), enlargement of the prostate gland which surrounds the neck of the bladder, the presence of stone or other foreign body and also various conditions affecting the nerve supply to the bladder.

The principal disorders are acute and chronic inflammation, stones, tumours causing obstruction or neurogenic bladder.
