What are the symptoms of bladder cancer in the late stage before death?

Many people are like this, they like to do a good job of prevention before the disease occurs, but there are also some who fail to take precautions, such as bladder cancer. If it is not discovered in time, it may develop to the late stage. So what are the symptoms of late-stage bladder cancer ?

Bladder cancer is a malignant tumor that originates from the bladder, which means that abnormal cells proliferate in large numbers without control. The most common bladder cancer cells come from the mucosal epidermis of the bladder. The main risk factor for bladder cancer is genetic influence. In addition, people who smoke, have long-term contact with certain dyes, gasoline or other chemicals also have a higher risk. Like other cancers, bladder cancer has no obvious symptoms in the early stages. Once the patient's body has obvious reactions, most of them are in the late stage of bladder cancer. Generally speaking, the symptoms of late-stage bladder cancer are mainly the following:

1. Hematuria. Bladder cancer often presents hematuria as the first symptom of bladder cancer. It can be visible or microscopic hematuria. Hematuria is usually painless, intermittent, and continuous, and is sometimes accompanied by blood clots. The diverse manifestations of hematuria can easily lead to misdiagnosis. For example, if the hematuria is intermittent, when the hematuria stops, it is often considered that the disease has disappeared and further treatment is not given in time. In addition, the amount of hematuria and the duration of hematuria are related to the malignancy of the tumor and the size, range, and number of the tumor. The progression of the disease or the larger range of lesions or combined infection may be accompanied by urinary tract irritation symptoms, discharge of slough-like substances, discharge of lumps, blood clots, or difficulty urinating due to lumps blocking the urinary tract, dripping, or even urine retention;

Second: Urinary tract irritation. Urinary tract irritation symptoms rarely appear in the early symptoms of bladder cancer. When accompanied by urinary tract infection or tumors in the bladder triangle, it can appear earlier. In addition, bladder irritation symptoms also reveal the possibility of bladder carcinoma in situ, which are all symptoms of bladder cancer. Therefore, patients with bladder irritation who lack evidence of infection should actively undergo a comprehensive examination in order to make an early diagnosis;

3. Other symptoms: If the tumor infiltrates the ureteral opening or grows at the ureteral opening, it can cause ureteral dilatation, which in turn leads to hydronephrosis and kidney enlargement. When bladder cancer metastasizes to the lungs, liver, and bones, corresponding symptoms may appear, such as cough, shortness of breath, abnormal liver function, pain in the liver area, and bone pain somewhere. When the symptoms of bladder cancer are very serious, they may also be complicated by bladder cancer pain, severe hematuria, and urinary retention.

In addition, early bladder cancer often has no special positive signs, and positive signs often appear in the middle and late stages of the disease. For example, superficial lymph node metastasis manifests as lymph node enlargement; lung metastasis manifests as weakened lung breath sounds, or combined dry and wet rales; liver metastasis manifests as enlarged liver borders, cloudy capsules, or jaundice; bone metastasis manifests as tenderness at the metastatic site; when systemic failure occurs and cachexia manifests, positive signs such as weight loss and anemia become more obvious.

The above is the explanation given by experts on the symptoms of bladder cancer. I hope it can help you answer your questions.
