Hello,
BCG treatment can lead to granuloma formation in the bladder wall. Redness can be due to inflammation in the bladder wall. Biopsy and histopathological examination will determine the changes which have taken place in the bladder wall post BCG treatment.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
