Bladder

Yes, having a full bladder before a sonogram can help improve the quality of the images obtained. The full bladder pushes the uterus up and helps to provide a clearer view of the pelvic organs during the scan.

A partial nephrectomy does have long-term consequences, most especially indeed for those with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections (u.t.i.): the problem arises because partial nephrectomy inevitably leads to damage to the anatomical area of the kidney known as the pelvis, which is the area into which the urine drains before passage down the ureter. Such damage and scar-tissue formation leads to distortion of the pelvis, with consequences for the flow of urine from the area, including stagnation. In the presence of infectious micro-organisms, such stagnation can cause UPPER urinary tract infections, with the increased risk of pyelo-nephrititis; or infectious involvement of the kidney tissue itself. This can become a chronic infection, or recurrent acute on chronic disease, and lead to a reduction in functioning renal tissue.

Punctate erythema in the bladder refers to small red spots or patches that are observed on the lining of the bladder during a medical examination, such as cystoscopy. It can indicate inflammation, irritation, or infection in the bladder. Further investigation may be needed to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

The prostate gland encircles the bladder neck at the base of the men's bladder.

Place the ultrasound transducer on the ventral midline of the abdomen, just cranial to the pubis. This should cover the area where the urinary bladder is located in cats. Adjust the transducer until you obtain a clear image of the bladder.

Yes, mice have a bladder to store urine before it is expelled from the body. The bladder is an essential organ for waste elimination in mammals.

No, the urinary bladder and gallbladder are not the same structure. The urinary bladder is a hollow organ that stores urine produced by the kidneys, while the gallbladder is a small organ that stores bile produced by the liver.

To convert moles to grams, you need to multiply by the molar mass of the substance. The molar mass of sugar (sucrose) is approximately 342.3 g/mol. So, 0.0235 moles of sugar would be 0.0235 moles * 342.3 g/mol ≈ 8.05 grams.

This condition is known as a urinary tract infection (UTI). It typically occurs when bacteria enter the urethra and multiply in the bladder. Symptoms may include frequent and painful urination, cloudy or bloody urine, and pelvic pain. Treatment usually involves antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider.

The oblique course of the ureter through the bladder wall helps to prevent backflow of urine from the bladder into the ureter, known as vesicoureteral reflux. This oblique entry creates a valve-like effect where the pressure of urine in the bladder compresses the ureter, helping to prevent reflux of urine back towards the kidneys.

No, if your bladder is completely empty, liquid cannot enter the bladder unless you consume more liquid. The bladder only fills up with urine when the kidneys produce urine and it is stored in the bladder until it is excreted.

Cystorrhexis is the medical term meaning suture of the bladder.

This could be due to a condition called bladder distention, in which a full bladder puts pressure on surrounding organs, including the uterus. It can cause discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen and pelvic area. It's best to consult a healthcare provider for an evaluation and proper diagnosis.

Uncontrolled loss from the bladder is called urinary incontinence. This condition can result in the involuntary leakage of urine due to various factors such as weakened pelvic floor muscles, nerve damage, or underlying medical conditions. Treatment options for urinary incontinence may include pelvic floor exercises, medication, or surgical interventions.

A bladder is typically held in a container or pouch called a bladder bag. These bags are designed to securely hold and protect the bladder and are often made from durable materials such as nylon or rubber.

It is not uncommon for children to have an overactive bladder, especially while they are still developing. This can be due to various reasons such as holding urine for too long, urinary tract infection, or stress. It is always best to consult a healthcare provider if this is a concern.

Typically yes because males tend to be larger than females and bladder size is relative to body size. It is not a general rule though considering some men are rather small. Men do tend to have stretchier bladders however.

Transitional epithelium consists of multiple layers of epithelial cells which can contract and expand. Its primary function is to elongate when the bladder starts to fill, allowing an increase in bladder volume.

Acutely outstretched bladders go to normal size almost immediately after you void the urine. In chronic obstruction the bladder may get thicker also. This will be reversed to original size, once the stricture of urethra is corrected, although it may take longer time.

No, a foley catheter balloon is designed to stay inflated inside the bladder to prevent it from falling out unintentionally. If the balloon were to deflate or malfunction, it could potentially lead to the catheter slipping out of the bladder.

On average, a 12-year-old can hold their bladder for about 4-5 hours. However, this can vary depending on the individual's hydration levels, bladder capacity, and overall health. It's important for children to listen to their body's signals and not hold their bladder for extended periods to prevent discomfort or potential health issues.

The urinary bladder and internal reproductive organs would be found in the pelvic cavity.

If the girl is not dehydrated then most drinks will turn into urine in the girl's kidneys and flow into her bladder. Drinks with diuretic properties like coke, tea or coffee are most effective. Girls can normally produce more urine than boys if they both drink the same.

Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it increases the production of urine by the kidneys. This can lead to more frequent urination and a fuller bladder. Additionally, alcohol can interfere with the body's production of a hormone called antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which normally helps regulate urine production.
