Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
There are few thigs here which dont have to related. Bladder wall thickening is mosn commonly cause by bladder inflammation called cystitis. Rarely it can be sign of cancer so this should be ruled out.
Lymoh node swelling is sign of node reaction usually to incetion too and this can be related to this haziness which can indicate some bowel inflammation due to diverticulitis, crohn or colitis.
ALl in all this doenst need any managment, he should just do frequent check ups.
.Wish you good health.
