Let's take a look at the symptoms of advanced bladder cancer.

When bladder cancer deteriorates to the late stage, urinary tract irritation symptoms may occur. This symptom may occur when the tumor occurs in the bladder triangle or when there is infection, or this symptom may be the main symptom. Therefore, patients with bladder irritation symptoms who lack sufficient evidence of infection should undergo a comprehensive examination as soon as possible to rule out bladder cancer. Hematuria caused by bladder cancer is the most common symptom of bladder cancer.

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. 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 appear, such as cough, shortness of breath, abnormal liver function, pain in the liver area, and bone pain somewhere. A systematic examination should be performed to make a timely diagnosis and early treatment.
