blæreens

Blæreens is a Danish term that translates to "bladder screen" or "bladder inspection" in English. It refers to a medical examination or procedure used to assess the condition and function of the urinary bladder. This can encompass a variety of diagnostic techniques.

One common method is cystoscopy, where a thin, flexible tube with a camera, called a cystoscope, is inserted into the bladder through the urethra. This allows a direct visual examination of the bladder lining, detecting abnormalities such as stones, tumors, inflammation, or signs of infection.

Other diagnostic tools may include imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI, which can provide cross-sectional views of the bladder and surrounding structures, revealing masses, structural changes, or signs of leakage. Urodynamic studies are also sometimes employed as part of a bladder assessment, measuring bladder pressure and flow to evaluate its storage and emptying capabilities.

Blæreens is typically performed when a patient experiences symptoms related to the urinary tract, such as frequent urination, painful urination, blood in the urine, or incontinence. The findings from a blæreens examination help physicians diagnose conditions affecting the bladder and determine the most appropriate course of treatment.
