What diseases can bladder cancer cause

Bladder cancer not only causes great harm to the patient's body, but also brings varying degrees of trouble to the patient in daily work and life. People who unfortunately suffer from this disease must go to the hospital for treatment in time. If you do not pay attention to care during treatment, it is easy to cause other diseases. So, what complications can bladder cancer cause? Let's learn about this together.

1. Common clinical complications of bladder cancer include urinary retention, bladder cancer pain, and severe hematuria. Bladder tumors will directly reach the menstrual blood along the lymphatic vessels, and then spread and cancer cells can be directly implanted. Lymphatic metastasis is the most common type of bladder cancer. Once bladder cancer metastasizes, it can metastasize to the inside and outside of the iliac bones, or to the obturator lymph nodes and common iliac lymph nodes.

2. When caring for patients, many family members will ask about the complications of bladder cancer. The blood-borne metastasis of bladder cancer often occurs in the late stage of the disease. The primary site of metastasis is the liver, followed by the lungs and bones. There are reports of bladder cancer metastases to the skin, heart, kidneys, stomach, etc., but these are only a minority.

3. Bladder cancer can spread directly to the patient's prostate or posterior urethra, and can also extend outside the bladder or to the mucosa at the top of the bladder. The metastasis of tumor cells can occur during the patient's surgery, and there will be a lump after the surgery. Common complications after bladder cancer surgery include anuria, pelvic infection, bleeding, and wound rupture. Common complications of radiotherapy include blood in the stool, frequent urination, urgency, tenesmus, rectal perforation, and intestinal ileus. Complications caused by arterial infusion chemotherapy are common in ruptured blood vessels and burning pain in the buttocks.

The above is a detailed introduction to the diseases that may be caused by bladder cancer. I hope everyone can pay enough attention to it. In particular, patients with bladder cancer must seek medical treatment at the earliest stage of the disease and go to regular medical institutions for treatment in time. Do not wait until the disease worsens before regretting it.
