Bladder leukoplakia
Bladder leukoplakia is a benign tumor that occurs as a result of frequent recurrent cystitis (inflammation of the bladder mucosa). It is more common in women.
Symptoms of leukoplakia may include pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen, and false urge to urinate. A urologist for women is the same doctor who will help solve the problem of abdominal pain caused by cystitis or leukoplakia.
In more detail, leukoplakia is a disease that affects the mucous membrane with keratinization of the integumentary epithelium of varying degrees of severity.
According to various authors, as well as according to our Center, cystoscopy in 64-100% of patients with persistent urinary incontinence and chronic lower abdominal pain reveals leukoplakia located in the bladder neck and urethral triangle.
This disease can cause a significant blow to the quality of life and turn such a natural physiological process as urination into real torment.
Bladder leukoplakia itself is formed under the influence of urogenital infections and, as a result, frequent recurrent inflammation of the bladder (cystitis).
Cystitis itself can be cured with medication, but already formed leukoplakia cannot be treated with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Not only is leukoplakia incapable of adaptive restructuring when the bladder is stretched (which is the main cause of pain), but it also has increased permeability compared to healthy mucosa. Therefore, any changes in the acidity of the urine will be accompanied by discomfort and cause complaints similar to cystitis.
In addition, the bacteria inside the leukoplakia itself can feel completely safe, because the leukoplakia is not supplied with blood circulation and antibiotics do not penetrate its thickness. This circumstance ensures regular recurrence of inflammation.
