客氣的老許

The bladder(膀胱) is a balloon-shaped muscle that serves as the storage pouch for urine.

Urine is made in the kidneys and flows from them to the bladder through the ureters( 輸尿管).From the bladder, urine flows through the urethra(尿道) to the outside of the body.

The bladder is part of the urinary tract(尿路), along with the kidneys, ureters, and the urethra.

二.膀胱鏡檢查

Cystoscopy(膀胱鏡檢查) is a test that looks at the inner lining(內層膜) of the bladder and the tube from the bladder to the outside of the body (urethra). The cystoscope(膀胱鏡) is a thin, lighted(有燈光的) viewing tool that is put into the urethra and moved into the bladder.

When the cystoscope is inside your bladder, sterile water (無菌水)or saline(生理鹽水) is injected through the scope to help expand your bladder and to create a clear view. A medicine may also be injected through the scope to reduce chances of infection. Tiny instruments may be inserted through the scope to collect tissue samples (biopsy) to test.`

A cystoscopy can check for stones, tumors, bleeding, and infection. Cystoscopy can see areas of the bladder and urethra that usually do not show up well on X-rays. Tiny surgical instruments can be put through the cystoscope to remove samples of tissue (biopsy) or samples of urine.

Cystoscopy also can be used to treat some bladder problems, such as removing small bladder stones and some small growths.
