Cysts can grow practically anywhere in your body. Cysts that form inside the lining of the urinary bladder, the hollow organ where urine collects before it’s eliminated from the body, are very rare in those with an otherwise normal urinary tract.</p></div><div><p>When a cyst or a group of cysts form inside the bladder, they’re usually benign and not cancerous. However, some bladder cysts may be associated with having a higher risk of developing <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/bladder-cancer" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">bladder cancer</a> in the future.</p></div><div><h3>Cysts vs. polyps</h3></div><div><p>Cysts aren’t the same as <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/polyps-in-bladder" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">polyps</a> and tumors, which are different types of abnormal growths of tissue. Like cysts, certain polyps and tumors can be either benign or cancerous.</p></div><div><p>Your doctor can help determine if the growth is a cyst by performing imaging such as an ultrasound, for example, and then doing a biopsy to determine its content. This involves taking a sample of tissue and looking at it more closely under a microscope. Most bladder cysts don’t require surgical treatment.</p></div><div class="css-20w1gi"><aside class="css-0 css-0" data-testid="sticky-inline-ad" data-sticky="false"><div><div data-empty="true" class="css-1sq15os"><div class="css-1hjaa0k"><span class="css-zya54r"></span></div><div id="inline2__slot" data-adbridg-ad-class="inline2__slot" data-ad="true" class="css-1t05dkn"></div></div></div></aside></div></div><div class="css-1avyp1d"><span style="font-size:0;line-height:0"></span><div><h2><div><a class="chartbeat-section" name="symptoms"> Do bladder cysts cause symptoms?</a></div></h2></div><span style="font-size:0;line-height:0"></span><div><p>Bladder cysts usually don’t cause symptoms unless the cyst is very large or associated with an underlying condition.

They may ask you to urinate inside a cup so your urine can be tested for things like bacteria that cause infections. Typically, a urinalysis is first done for screening to see if your urine has any abnormal features. If infection is suspected, more specific testing, called a <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/urine-culture" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">urine culture</a>, is then performed on your urine. </p></div><div><p>If your doctor suspects you have a cyst inside your bladder, they may refer you to a urologist. A urologist is a doctor who specializes in issues with the urinary tract. The urologist will likely run further diagnostic studies to rule out other types of bladder lesions or conditions. Imaging tests might be used to help your doctor see your bladder. These may include one or more of the following:</p></div><div><ul><li>plain film <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/x-ray" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">X-ray</a></li><li><a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/ct-scan" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">CT scan</a>, which typically uses a stronger dose of X-rays (compared to plain film X-ray) to create more detailed cross-sectional images</li><li><a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/ultrasound" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">ultrasound</a>, which doesn’t involve radiation, uses sound waves to create pictures of the organs</li><li>MRI scan, which also doesn’t involve radiation, uses a magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to create detailed images of soft tissues in the body</li></ul></div><div><p>If tests reveal a mass inside your bladder, it’s likely that a urologist will want to perform a <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/cystoscopy" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">cystoscopy</a> and <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/bladder-biopsy" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">bladder biopsy</a> procedure to look inside your bladder and to find out if the mass contains cancer cells.</p></div><div><p>During a cystoscopy, your doctor inserts a thin tube with a small camera (cystoscope) through the urethra and into your bladder. During the biopsy, your doctor will take a sample of tissue to be looked at more closely under a microscope.</p></div><div><p>Bladder cysts might also be discovered during a diagnostic procedure for an unrelated condition.
