What Causes Cyst In Bladder?

hello I am Alexis. I have went to my babies ultrasound at 20 week and it showed that my baby had a small cyst in or on his bladder. I went to his 26 week follow up ultrasound and was told that it is smaller. What is going on? Can a cyst get smaller? Is everything okay?

Pediatric Surgeon 's  Response
Hi, welcome to healthcare magic. Cyst in or on the bladder is most probably a ureterocele and may lead to block the passage of urine from the kidneys to the bladder leading to that side renal dysfunction. You can show the problem to a paediatric surgeon for either fetal intervention if possible or intervention just after birth. Also, to diagnose the lesion, you can go for a fetal MRI.Hope, the information helps you.
