Hi, thanks for query.Important things is to look for how the bladder is functioning.It is better to get evaluated by urologist.Simple wall thickening happens in many cases like some obstruction to urine flow,infection etc.He might do endoscopy to see for this.Any way do not worry as you are regular follow up things should be fine.bye.
