No, the urinary bladder is at risk of being damaged in an automobile accident, especially if there is blunt trauma to the lower abdomen. The bladder is a hollow organ that can rupture or tear if subjected to significant force, which can result in serious complications and the need for medical intervention.

Having a sensation of fullness in your bladder and noticing a strong odor in your urine can be signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI). It is important to see a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment if you experience these symptoms.

A full bladder for boys can feel uncomfortable, causing a sensation of pressure or urgency to urinate. It may also lead to a feeling of distension or heaviness in the lower abdominal area. In some cases, it can cause mild to moderate discomfort until the bladder is emptied.

Yes, you could say so. These cells appear to be square with a rounded surface when the organ or the tube in which they are found is not stretched. When the organ or tube is stretched (e.g. when the bladder is filled with urine), the tissue is compressed and the cells become stretched and more flat.

Sargassum air bladders provide buoyancy to the seaweed, allowing it to float on the ocean surface. This helps the sargassum access sunlight for photosynthesis and allows it to drift with ocean currents.

Cystorrhaphy is the medical term meaning suture of the bladder.

Bladder stones can form anywhere in the urinary tract before depositing in the bladder. They begin as tiny granules about the size of a grain of sand, but they can grow to more than an inch in diameter.

The start of bladder cancer typically doesn't hurt - the tumor(s) aren't large enough to impact urinary function or impinge on delicate tissues. As it progresses, though, it can become extremely painful to hold urine in the bladder and to urinate.

The medical term for a surgical incision into the bladder is cystotomy.

Transurethral bladder resection is a procedure performed to remove abnormal tissues or growths in the bladder, such as tumors or polyps. This procedure is often used to diagnose and treat conditions like bladder cancer, relieve symptoms such as recurrent urinary tract infections or bleeding, and improve urine flow.

Smoking is a major risk factor for bladder cancer. Research has shown that smokers are at least three times more likely to develop bladder cancer compared to non-smokers. The harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage the lining of the bladder, increasing the risk of cancer development.

Bladder cancer is a disease in which the cells lining the urinary bladder lose the ability to regulate their growth and start dividing uncontrollably. This abnormal growth results in a mass of cells that form a tumor.

There is limited research linking creatine supplementation to bladder problems. However, some individuals may experience an increase in urinary frequency due to increased water retention, which could potentially exacerbate bladder issues. It is advisable to stay hydrated and consult a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

The average adult bladder can typically hold about 1.5 to 2 cups of urine comfortably. However, factors like age, hydration levels, and individual differences can affect bladder capacity. It's important to listen to your body's signals and empty your bladder when you feel the urge.

The toy known as a "bladder ball" was originally made from the inflated bladder of an animal, such as a pig or cow. The bladder would be dried and then inflated with air to create a ball for playing games. Over time, other materials like rubber replaced the animal bladder in manufacturing balls.

As a non-physician, I will offer the opinion that sperm in and of itself is not dirty or diseased, unless there are other serious problems with health.

Availability and the pig bladder has the extracellular matrix, so it can regenerate itself. There are hundreds of thousands of pigs, slaughtered every year for food. The bladders are not considered food, so they are thrown away. Which makes them readily available and cheap to obtain. Your liver is an organ that has the matrix and can regenerate itself, but operations are expensive and the donor might not survive the operation.

Transvesical ureterolithotomy through the bladder is a surgical procedure used to remove kidney stones that have traveled into the ureter. This involves making an incision in the bladder to access the ureter and remove the stones, helping to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications associated with kidney stones.

The detrusor muscle is the main muscle within the bladder that contracts during urination to help expel urine. It is a smooth muscle that forms a triangular shape at the base of the bladder.

No, palpation of the symphysis pubis is not a reliable method for assessing urinary retention. A more accurate way to assess urinary retention is through a focused history taking, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as ultrasound or bladder scan.

Emptying the bladder promptly prevents urinary tract infections, which can occur when urine sits in the bladder and bacteria have the chance to multiply. Holding in urine for too long can also weaken the bladder muscles over time, leading to issues such as incontinence or urinary retention.

Yes, the sacral nerves play a crucial role in controlling bladder functions. These nerves are involved in communicating signals between the brain and the bladder to regulate urination. Damage or dysfunction of the sacral nerves can affect bladder control and may lead to urinary incontinence.
