The wall of the urinary bladder should not be > 3 mm thick when distended and not > 5 mm thick when decompressed. The thickened wall could be due to the edema (swelling) of the wall which can happen due to the inflammation(cystitis) or the thickening could be due to the deposition of urinary sediments on the walls of the bladder. These are the 2 commonest causes. Bladder cancer is another cause. Generally if you are diagnosed with thickening of the bladder you will be sent to a urologist and have a cystoscopy performed.
Thickening of the bladder wall can be a sign of inflammation, infection, or other underlying conditions. It can also be associated with conditions like bladder outlet obstruction or overactive bladder. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is needed to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
