What are the symptoms and triggering factors of bladder cancer?

Bladder cancer is a very common disease. It seriously affects the normal life and work of patients and makes them suffer. So, what are the symptoms and predisposing factors of bladder cancer? Below, we will introduce the symptoms and predisposing factors of bladder cancer.

The symptoms of bladder cancer include: 1. Frequent and urgent urination: When tumor cells invade the trigone of the bladder, they will irritate the bladder and cause symptoms of frequent and urgent urination. 2. Pain: When the tumor invades deeper into the lesion, urinary pain will occur. If the condition is serious, it may turn into uremia. In the late stage of bladder cancer, cachexia will occur. 3. Hematuria: In the early stage of bladder cancer, there is almost no feeling. Only hematuria can be observed with the naked eye. If the body has such abnormal symptoms, it should be diagnosed in time to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically. 4. Urinary tract irritation symptoms: This late symptom of bladder cancer may occur when the tumor occurs in the trigone of the bladder or is combined with infection, or this symptom may be the main one. 5. Others: If the tumor infiltrates to the ureteral orifice, it can cause ureteral dilatation, a symptom of late bladder cancer.

Predisposing factors for bladder cancer include artificial sweeteners: Sweeteners can increase the risk of bladder cancer in men by 60%. Family history: The risk of bladder cancer in the immediate family of a bladder cancer patient is about twice that of a person without a family history, and the risk is even higher in the immediate family of a young bladder cancer patient. Carcinogens in drinking water: Long-term drinking of tap water that has been disinfected with chlorine and contains chlorination byproducts can increase the risk of bladder cancer. Coffee: People who drink coffee regularly have a higher risk of bladder cancer. Urinary tract diseases: Chronic irritation of the urethral epithelium or the increase in the level of carcinogens in the urine caused by human metabolic products can cause the urethral epithelium to proliferate and then become cancerous.

Bladder cancer is a very dangerous disease, so in daily life, we should learn more about bladder cancer and take timely prevention and treatment. I wish all patients with bladder cancer a speedy recovery and good health.
