How to prevent bladder cancer?

Bladder cancer also has hereditary characteristics, but heredity is not the direct cause of bladder cancer. It just means that the incidence rate is higher than that of other populations. If it can be prevented in time, it can still reduce the chance of occurrence. The main preventive measures are to avoid contact with high-risk causes, and secondly, to take care of the bladder. The following are some ways to prevent bladder cancer:

1. Proper diet

In daily life, it is very necessary to have a reasonable and nutritious diet plan. Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins and trace elements. If they are consumed in sufficient quantities, they can decompose the carcinogenic nitrosamines in the body. However, meat foods should be avoided as much as possible. After consuming meat foods, they will form substances similar to aniline and benzidine in the body, which will cause the occurrence of diseases.

2. Quit smoking as soon as possible

We all know that cigarettes are extremely harmful to human health. They are rich in nicotine, tar-specific nitrosamines and other highly toxic carcinogens. If you ingest these substances for a long time, you will find extremely high concentrations of carcinogens in your urine when you urinate, and they can promote the occurrence of bladder cancer.

3. Increase your water intake

The amount of water you drink is closely related to the concentration of urine in the bladder and the occurrence of the disease. Drinking less water will reduce the urine in the bladder. When carcinogens are excreted into the bladder through the kidneys, the concentration of urine will increase. Excessively high concentrations of carcinogens will irritate the bladder mucosa and further promote the occurrence of the disease. Therefore, drinking more water can dilute the toxins in the bladder and promote excretion, which will reduce the chance of bladder cancer.

Bladder cancer is a type of urinary system disease and the most common type of malignant tumor in the urinary system. Sufficient attention should be paid to its prevention, especially for the elderly. If symptoms of urinary system diseases appear, one should not be careless and should make a timely diagnosis to avoid delaying the treatment of the disease.
