7. Bladder Polyps
A bladder polyp forms inside the bladder. Risk is higher for people who smoke, are over 40, suffer from recurring urinary infections or work with carcinogens, substances that can cause cancer or increase the risk of developing cancer. It isn't always possible to identify the cause of a bladder polyp.
A small bladder polyp doesn't usually pose any risk to a person and may not cause symptoms.7‘Nasal Polyps - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 11 July 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/nasal-polyps/symptoms-causes/syc-20351888. A person may only know they have a bladder polyp from the test results for another bladder issue.
