Painless intermittent hematuria? Beware of bladder cancer

Hematuria is often caused by some diseases, and the most common one is probably hematuria caused by urinary tract infection or stones. These conditions can cause hematuria, but hematuria caused by these diseases is often accompanied by pain, so because of the pain, patients will go to the doctor for examination in time, but for some painless intermittent hematuria, patients may not pay much attention to it. In fact, this may often indicate a more serious disease, such as bladder cancer. Let's learn about hematuria caused by bladder cancer.

For some patients who have intermittent, painless, visible hematuria, they must be vigilant, as this is likely caused by a tumor in the urinary system, especially kidney cancer and bladder cancer. The incidence and mortality of bladder cancer are very high, so painless hematuria must be vigilant for the occurrence of bladder cancer.

If middle-aged and elderly people have intermittent painless hematuria, they should be careful of bladder cancer. If they have bladder cancer, the amount of hematuria is directly related to the duration and condition of the disease, and is related to the malignancy of the tumor, the size of the tumor, the range and the number of tumors, but not necessarily proportional. Some very small tumors can cause a lot of hematuria.

Bladder cancer can occur at any age, but relatively speaking, the incidence rate will increase after the age of 40, and the incidence rate in men is higher than that in women. Bladder cancer cells often grow in the bladder, and hematuria is caused by ruptured blood vessels and bleeding in the tumor lesions. For bladder cancer, painless macroscopic hematuria is its first symptom. If there is a concurrent infection, frequent urination, urgency, and pain may also occur. Some patients do not have any symptoms, and symptoms such as lower abdominal pain will not appear until the late stage.

For bladder cancer, blood can be found in urine with the naked eye by simply observing the urine. The color of blood in urine can be bright red or dark red. If you hold your urine for a short time during the day, it will look bright red, while if you hold your urine for a long time at night, the color will be darker red. There may or may not be blood clots in the blood. If the blood in the urine is in the shape of long strips, then you should consider ureteral tumors or kidney tumors.

It can be seen that intermittent painless hematuria is a possible manifestation of bladder cancer. Although it is difficult to detect it in the early stage, bladder cancer often causes intermittent, painless hematuria throughout the course of the course in the early stage, which is a dangerous signal. Once this symptom is found in life, you must go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time. Hematuria without any discomfort is mostly a sign of urinary system tumors. Regardless of whether there are symptoms or not, you must do a B-ultrasound examination of the urinary system in time to clarify the cause.
