I'm trying to understand what's going on with some recent scan results. It mentions there's a right pleural effusion that's under 100 ml. How serious is that? Should I be worried? Also, it says there's a thick-walled urinary bladder with some post-void residue, and I'm wondering if it's linked to cystitis. Could you explain what this all means and what steps I should consider next?
