Need to know the symptoms of bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is relatively common in daily life, and many friends suffer from this disease. A series of common symptoms will appear after suffering from bladder cancer. Understanding the symptoms of bladder cancer can allow patients to prescribe the right medicine. So let’s take a look at the symptoms of bladder cancer .

1. Bladder irritation symptoms: frequent urination, urgent urination, and painful urination account for about 10% of the symptoms of bladder cancer. They are related to the widespread distribution of carcinoma in situ and invasive bladder cancer, especially when the lesions are located in the bladder triangle. Therefore, patients with "cystitis" that cannot be cured for a long time should be alert to the possibility of bladder cancer, especially carcinoma in situ.

2. Symptoms of urinary obstruction: Large tumors, tumors at the bladder neck, and blood clots can cause difficulty in urination or even urinary retention. Tumor infiltration of the ureteral orifice can cause upper urinary tract obstruction, resulting in symptoms of bladder cancer such as low back pain, hydronephrosis, and renal impairment.

3. Hematuria: Painless macroscopic hematuria is the most common symptom of bladder cancer, which may occur in more than 80% of patients, of which 17% have severe hematuria, but 15% may only have microscopic hematuria at the beginning. Hematuria is mostly intermittent throughout the whole process, and may also manifest as initial hematuria or terminal hematuria. Some patients may excrete blood clots or necrotic tissue. The duration of hematuria and the amount of bleeding are related to the malignancy, stage, size, number, range, and morphology of the tumor, but they are not necessarily proportional. Carcinoma in situ often manifests as microscopic hematuria, while hematuria in urachal carcinoma of the bladder may not be obvious.
