Bladder Eversion

Bladder eversion is a congenital malformation in which the bladder is located below the normal level and extends outside the abdominal cavity through a canal in the side. This defect is a serious medical problem and may require surgery.

Bladder inversion is possible when the development of the urinary organs of the fetus in the womb is impaired. At the same time, the muscle walls of the bladder and other organs develop incorrectly, and they go beyond normal limits. One of the most common factors leading to bladder inversion is exposure to alcohol and certain medications during pregnancy. Also, the causes of this malformation include genetic factors, infectious diseases of the mother, external influences, such as toxic substances and radiation. Symptoms of a dislocated bladder may include: pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen, trouble urinating, cystostomy tubes or catheters, difficulty taking liquids and tablets by mouth, difficulty walking, and blood in the urine.
