What Causes Mild Thickening Of The Bladder Walls?

I am 57 year old male. Had a CT scan which states the bladder wall shows mild thickening . I am Type II and also have extensive diverticulosis according to report. Colonoscopy 2 years ago was completely clean. Prostrate is normal but I have been diagnosed with Prostatitis and just got over a pretty bad 5 day attack the day before the CT Scan. reason for scan was self-scheduled virtual physical and I am citing the report from the review MD...thanks for any insight.
