Symptoms of early bladder cancer: Generally speaking, patients with bladder cancer do not have many obvious symptoms in the early stages. Hematuria that can be seen with the naked eye is a unique abnormal urination signal of bladder cancer. Almost every bladder cancer patient will experience hematuria, 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-time hematuria, and a few are terminal hematuria. However, hematuria accompanied by frequent urination and urgency is rare.

Symptoms of advanced bladder cancer: The most typical symptom of patients with advanced bladder cancer is hematuria, which occurs in 90% of patients. Patients with cystitis will experience severe abdominal pain due to cancer involving the peritoneum, bone pain due to cancer involving the periosteum and invading the bones, and severe cases will experience systemic pain that is unbearable day and night. Some patients with advanced bladder cancer also experience urinary retention, with a large amount of urine accumulated in the bladder and unable to be discharged, blocking the bladder neck or urethra. The main symptoms are inability to urinate or difficulty in urinating, and severe cases may even be unable to urinate for a week.

Generally speaking, the symptoms of bladder cancer are relatively easy to detect, so we should actively prevent bladder cancer in normal times. If you find yourself with related symptoms, whether it is early or late bladder cancer, you should actively respond.
