What are the symptoms of bladder cancer patients

The incidence of bladder cancer is also relatively high. If the disease can be detected in the early stages, the treatment effect of bladder cancer in the early stages will be relatively good. So how can we detect the disease more promptly? The following will introduce the symptoms that bladder cancer patients will have after the onset of the disease.

Main symptoms of bladder cancer

The main symptom of bladder cancer is hematuria. Hematuria is mostly caused by tumor rupture and bleeding. Hematuria can be more or less. When it is more, it can be seen with the naked eye. When it is less, red blood cells can only be seen in the urine under a microscope. Hematuria caused by bladder cancer is generally whole-process hematuria, that is, the urine is bloody during the entire urination process, and the urine color often deepens when urination is about to end; it can also be hematuria at the beginning and then clear urine, or clear urine at the beginning and then hematuria. Compared with hematuria caused by other diseases, hematuria caused by bladder cancer has two characteristics: one is painlessness, that is, when hematuria occurs, the patient does not have any pain or other discomfort symptoms, which is called painless hematuria in medicine. This is different from the kidney and ureter pain often accompanied by hematuria caused by stones, and it is also different from the frequent urination, urgency, and pain caused by hematuria caused by cystitis. However, if the tumor is necrotic, ulcerated, and infected, bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain may occur. The second is intermittent, that is, hematuria occurs intermittently, and can stop or alleviate on its own. The interval between two episodes of hematuria may be several days, months, or even half a year, which can easily create the illusion that hematuria has been cured and improved, and thus fail to seek medical attention in time.

Painless hematuria is the most important sign of bladder cancer. Almost all bladder cancer patients will have this signal first. If you can catch this signal and conduct timely examination, you can achieve early detection and early treatment, and achieve better results. If hematuria only occurs once or twice, and the patient does not pay attention to it, thinking that it is caused by fatigue or cold, it is not a big problem. This often makes the patient mistakenly believe that the hematuria has healed on its own and no further diagnosis and treatment is needed, thus losing the best time for treatment.

I hope that through the above introduction to the main symptoms of bladder cancer, bladder cancer patients can seek medical attention in time when they experience uncomfortable symptoms such as hematuria in daily life, and should receive treatment immediately after being diagnosed with bladder cancer.
