Morphology

bladder + issue

The phrase is directly compositional: 'bladder' names an organ that stores urine and 'issue' means a problem, so together they literally mean 'a problem with the bladder.' This is a common noun+noun construction found in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the intended medical sense.

Etymology

Bladder issue comes from the simple image of the bladder as a small balloon that holds urine and the word issue, meaning 'a problem' or 'trouble'. If the balloon leaks, hurts, or cannot hold much, you have a bladder issue, so the phrase means 'a problem with peeing or the bladder'.
