What are the symptoms of bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is a common malignant tumor in our daily life. The cure rate is very low in the late stage, and the symptoms are not obvious in the early stage. The most common and typical symptom is hematuria. When it occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, it is important to make a prompt diagnosis. The following are the symptoms of bladder cancer:

Symptoms of Bladder Cancer

1. Hematuria

Hematuria is mostly macroscopic hematuria, followed by microscopic hematuria. It can be intermittent, whole-course hematuria, or terminal hematuria. Because of the diversity of hematuria, it is easy to be misdiagnosed as uremia. Hematuria is a typical symptom of bladder cancer.

2. Urinary tract irritation

This symptom occurs when cancer cells invade the trigone of the bladder. The irritation symptoms also reveal the possibility of bladder carcinoma in situ, followed by the discharge of necrotic material, lumps, blood clots, or difficulty urinating due to obstruction of the urinary tract by the lumps, dripping, or even urine retention.

3. Systemic symptoms

Symptoms include leg swelling, abdominal ascites, incontinence, yellow urine, loose yellow stools, and a large amount of colorless, odorless, transparent liquid. It is not uncommon for this colorless, odorless, transparent liquid to be discharged alone.

People may all know that malignant tumors will metastasize in the late stages, which is also a factor that makes it impossible to cure late-stage malignant tumors. Therefore, the treatment of bladder cancer must be timely, which requires people with a high risk of bladder cancer and middle-aged and elderly people to undergo regular physical examinations.
