What are the symptoms of advanced bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is a relatively common cancer. The symptoms of the disease are not very obvious in the early stage, so it is difficult for us to detect it. But once the disease enters the late stage, the symptoms are more obvious. So, what are the symptoms of late bladder cancer?

1. Leg swelling, abdominal ascites, fecal incontinence, yellow urine, loose yellow stools, and accompanied by a large amount of colorless, odorless, transparent liquid. This colorless, odorless, transparent liquid is often discharged alone.

2. Hematuria: Painless macroscopic hematuria is the most common symptom of advanced bladder cancer, which occurs in more than 80% of patients, of which 17% have severe hematuria, but 15% may only have microscopic hematuria at the beginning. Hematuria is usually intermittent throughout the whole process, and may also be manifested as initial hematuria or terminal hematuria. Some patients may excrete blood clots or necrotic tissue.

3. Bladder irritation symptoms: frequent urination, urgent urination, and painful urination, accounting for about 10%, are related to widespread carcinoma in situ and invasive bladder cancer, especially when the lesion is located in the bladder triangle. Therefore, long-term "cystitis" that cannot be cured should be alert to the possibility of bladder cancer, especially carcinoma in situ.

4. Symptoms of urinary obstruction: Large tumors, tumors at the bladder neck, and blood clots can cause urinary difficulties or even urinary retention. Tumor infiltration of the ureteral orifice can cause upper urinary tract obstruction, resulting in low back pain, hydronephrosis, and renal impairment.

The main symptoms of late-stage bladder cancer are the ones mentioned above. We must not take cancer lightly. Once the cancer cells spread, the disease will be difficult for us to control. Therefore, when you feel unwell, you must go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
