Bladder Quicklinks



	The urinary bladder is a rather simple organ. The urine, produced by the kidneys, is transported by the ureters towards the bladder to be stored there. Therefore the bladder is needed for storage of urine, so that we humans do not lose urine all day long.

	The bladder and its function can be investigated in different ways. Not all possible investigations are, of course, necessary. As a rule, the urologist will make a choice to be able to eliminate or confirm possible causes of the patients problems. Below are some resources for exploring various topics about the bladder in urology. This information is intended to supplement the patient-doctor visit, not substitute for it.
