What are the symptoms of bladder cancer? This is the focus of this article. Many patients do not understand this issue and do not take prompt precautions at the beginning of bladder cancer, thus missing the best time for diagnosis and treatment of the disease. In this article, let us take a look at the symptoms of bladder cancer.

The most obvious early symptom of bladder cancer is hematuria, and the incidence rate is very high. There are two types of hematuria: macroscopic hematuria and microscopic hematuria. Macroscopic hematuria refers to bloody urine that can be seen with the eyes, and microscopic hematuria refers to red blood cells that can be found in the urine under a microscope. Hematuria caused by bladder cancer is mostly painless and intermittent. Most cases are full-course hematuria, while a few are terminal hematuria. Hematuria accompanied by frequent urination and urgency is less common.

The diagnosis of bladder cancer symptoms mainly relies on cystoscopy, which can directly see the size, shape, location, number and range of the tumor. The diagnostic accuracy of specialists can reach more than 90%. Finding cancer cells in urine is also one of the diagnostic methods, and its positive rate can reach 80%. In addition, B-ultrasound examination can help understand the degree of tumor infiltration, and CT also has a certain role in determining the tumor stage.

The above is an introduction to some symptoms of bladder cancer. I hope that everyone will pay attention to the introduction in this article and seek timely treatment after the symptoms of bladder cancer appear.
