What are the symptoms of bladder cancer patients

In the early stages of bladder cancer, the symptoms are not particularly obvious. If we do not pay attention to early detection of the disease, this disease will endanger our health. Therefore, we must start treatment as soon as possible and understand the symptoms of the disease. The early stage of the disease is also the best time for treatment.

1. Hematuria: Hematuria is the most common symptom of bladder cancer. Data show that 94% of patients have this as the main symptom. Hematuria is mostly macroscopic hematuria, followed by microscopic hematuria. It can be intermittent, whole-course hematuria, or terminal hematuria. Due to the diversity of hematuria, it is easy to be misdiagnosed or delayed in diagnosis. As the disease progresses or the lesion range becomes larger or is complicated by infection, it may be accompanied by urinary tract irritation symptoms, discharge of rotten meat-like substances, discharge of lumps, blood clots, or difficulty urinating due to lumps blocking the urinary tract, dripping, or even urine retention.

2. Urinary tract irritation symptoms: This symptom may occur when the tumor occurs in the bladder triangle or when there is infection. It is reported that bladder irritation symptoms also reveal the possibility of bladder carcinoma in situ. Therefore, patients with bladder irritation symptoms who lack sufficient evidence of infection should be examined as soon as possible to rule out bladder cancer.

3. Others: If the tumor infiltrates into the ureteral orifice or grows at the ureteral orifice, it can cause ureteral dilation, leading to hydronephrosis and enlarged kidney volume. When bladder cancer metastasizes to the lungs, liver, and bones, corresponding symptoms will appear, such as cough, shortness of breath, abnormal liver function, pain in the liver area, and bone pain somewhere. A systematic examination should be conducted to make a timely diagnosis and early treatment.

Many people don’t know much about bladder cancer, so they don’t know how to treat it early after the disease occurs. The symptoms of bladder cancer vary from person to person. If you find the disease, you should treat it early and don’t miss the best treatment time, so that you can control the disease faster.
