Bladder Inflammation and StonesBladder inflammation is a very common disorder in the urinary tract and reproductive system. Early diagnosis and intervention are very important for the treatment of the disease. If it is delayed, the disease may spread to affect the kidneys and cause permanent disorders in the kidneys and bladder.
Symptoms: Pain in the lower abdomen, frequent urination, bloody urine, painful 1-2 drops after urination, inflamed urine. Conditions such as: are symptoms of this disorder. If, in addition to these symptoms, fever and chills are also present, this indicates that the disease has spread to the kidneys.
Bladder Stones
Bladder stones are a disorder mostly seen in men. Many of these stones are stones that pass from the kidney. But the stone may also have formed in the bladder. The formation of these stones occurs as a result of the wastes that the body wants to excrete with urine crystallize and collapse due to lack of urine.
Symptoms
Interruption during urination, pain in the penis, blood in the urine. Situations such as being able to urinate only in certain positions are among the symptoms of this disorder.
What kind of symptoms does a bladder tumor cause?
The most common complaint is bloody urine. In addition, a burning sensation while urinating or a feeling of frequent urination may be observed. These types of complaints can often be confused with simple urinary tract infections. For this reason, it is important for patients in the risk group to consult their doctor if their urine is bloody or if they notice any other complaints. Are there different types of tumors in the bladder? Yes, but most of the tumors seen at the initial diagnosis stage are of the type called superficial bladder tumor, arising from the cells lining the inner surface of the bladder.
Superficial tumors can also be seen in two ways:< br /> Papillary tumors: They are mushroom-shaped formations that adhere to the bladder wall with a small stalk. Carcinoma in situ: They are generally flat and solid tumors that do not have a root, as in papillary tumors. As if growing just above the bladder wall they are seen. Tumors that spread to the muscle layers of the bladder are called invasive bladder tumors. Superficial bladder cancers and their treatment approaches are quite different from each other. How is bladder tumor diagnosed? If blood is observed in the urine, it must be determined immediately whether it is due to a bladder tumor or a different urinary tract disease such as urinary tract infection. In addition to a simple physical examination, various tests may need to be performed.
URINE ANALYSIS - URINE Many tests such as CULTURE - URINARY ULTRASOUND - IVP - CYTOLOGY - TOMOGRAPHY - MRI can be performed, but the definitive diagnosis is made by cystoscopy biopsy.
Cystoscopy:Your doctor can directly see the inside of the bladder. It is an illuminated optical system that provides The inner walls of the bladder are monitored by entering your urinary pipe with a catheter passing through a light source.
The diagnosis can be confirmed with the pieces taken in this way. Anesthesia is required for metal ones. However, flexible cystoscopes do not require anesthesia and can be performed under office conditions. What is the treatment for bladder tumor? Treatment of a bladder tumor will vary depending on the location, size, type (superficial or invasive) and stage of the tumor. T
Ranurethral Resection (Closed surgery):In the first stage, closed surgery is generally recommended for all patients diagnosed with bladder tumors in order to distinguish the type of tumor. This procedure is performed by entering the urinary tube and removing the bladder, just like in cystoscopy. It involves cutting the tumors inside with an electric knife.
Intravesical Treatments (vaccination treatment into the bladder):The purpose of this treatment is to destroy the remaining tumors by administering anti-tumor drugs into the bladder, and to prevent tumors in the future. To prevent recurrence and to prevent tumors from spreading to deeper muscle layers.
Cystectomy:It is the process of completely removing the bladder. If the tumor has spread to the muscle layer of the bladder, it may be necessary to remove the entire bladder, as it may spread to the whole body and be fatal. In this case, depending on the type, location and stage of the tumor, the urine will be discharged to other parts of the body (abdomen or anus) or by making a new bladder from the intestines. It can be administered into the urinary tract.
Follow-up and expectations after treatments: Most superficial bladder tumors can be removed with TUR surgery. One of the most important features of bladder tumors is frequent recurrence and progression towards deep muscles. For this reason, patients who have been diagnosed with a bladder tumor, even if superficial, need to have control cystoscopy at regular intervals.
