Bladder Diseases: A Clinical Approach

The urinary bladder is a hollow elastic muscular organ that sits on the pelvic floor. The urine excreted by the kidneys collects in the bladder before expulsion from the body. The bladder can be affected by urinary bladder inflammation like cystitis, bladder obstruction and bladder rupture. Cystitis, also known as urinary tract infection, is caused by a bacterial infection and is fairly common. Bladder obstruction or tamponade results due to a blood clot forming near the outlet of the bladder. Bladder rupture may occur if the bladder is overfilled and not emptied. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around the diagnosis and treatment of bladder diseases. The topics included herein on bladder diseases are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. In this book, using case studies and examples, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
