What are the early symptoms of bladder cancer

When treating bladder cancer, it is often difficult to cure or recurs. In fact, many people do not know how to carry out the corresponding treatment. This is because they do not know enough about the early symptoms of bladder cancer, so the treatment is not effective. Here are some early symptoms of bladder cancer.

1. The most common early symptom of bladder cancer is hematuria that can be seen with the naked eye without any feeling. This is a unique "abnormal urination signal" of bladder cancer. Almost every bladder cancer patient will experience it, and about 85% of bladder cancer patients seek medical treatment for this reason. There are two types of hematuria: macroscopic hematuria and microscopic hematuria. Macroscopic hematuria refers to bloody urine that can be seen directly with the eyes, and microscopic hematuria refers to red blood cells that can be found in the urine under a microscope. Bladder cancer hematuria is mostly painless and intermittent. Most cases are full-course hematuria, and a few are terminal hematuria. Hematuria accompanied by frequent urination and urgency is less common.

2. Frequent and urgent urination: If the tumor grows in the bladder triangle, bladder irritation may appear earlier. If urination pain occurs, it is not in the early stage. If unexplained hematuria suddenly appears, it is the earliest sign of bladder cancer.

3. If the tumor invades widely and deeply, pain may occur, which is aggravated by bladder contraction and urine retention. If the tumor is located at the bladder neck, it may cause urethral obstruction and even urinary retention. If the tumor invades the urethral orifice, hydronephrosis and ascending infection may occur. Severe patients may develop sepsis and uremia, and cachexia may occur in the late stage.

These are some specific symptoms of early bladder cancer. When we treat, we can follow these symptoms and carry out corresponding treatment. In this way, the subsequent treatment effect will be relatively better. I hope these can be helpful in the treatment process.
