Kidneys looked good, but had an Apparent hypoechoic filling defect in the posterior wall of the bladder. My urine had 17-22 RBC.  Scheduled for MRI of Spine and also having UraDynamics along with a cystoscope done.  This all came to because I was not able to pee on my own, I have to straight cath myself.  Recently I have been able to go on my own, but the stream is weak.  Is this something that is serious, not real sure what they meant about the hypoechoic filling defect. Please help Thanks!  kgirl Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT Can anyone help me, and maybe let me know, what this might mean. Thanks! kgirl Tue, 04 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT  I don't really know what this is except I found this article and it says it is a non cancerous tumor found in women. Here is the article that came up on google when I put in you diagnosis. Hope this helps mmshttp://www.hkcr.org/publ/Journal/vol5no3/full/Vol.5%20No.%20  On 3/4/2008 kgirl wrote:Can anyone help me, and maybe let me know, what this might mean. Thanks!  mmsurvivor Tue, 04 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT a filling defect indicates a mass of some kind.  Given the blood in the urine and the obstruction it would be suspicious for a transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.  A biopsy or cysto should be done to confirm.
