Early symptoms of bladder cancer in men

What are the early symptoms of bladder cancer? There are no specific symptoms in the early stage of male bladder cancer. The possible early symptoms are: 1. Urinary tract irritation symptoms. The patient only shows frequent urination or urgency without reason, but is not accompanied by pain during urination, and is not accompanied by low back pain, abdominal pain and other symptoms. 2. Transient hematuria may occur intermittently. After drinking more water after excreting hematuria, it will not appear again, or it will reappear after a few days or months. At this time, you need to be alert to the presence of bladder cancer. 3. Occasional transient pain in the lower abdomen, but the pain is relatively mild, short-lived, and has no obvious specificity. 4. As the disease progresses further, frequent gross hematuria will occur throughout the course. When the amount of bleeding is large, it may be accompanied by obvious rapid blood clotting. At the same time, it may be accompanied by hidden pain caused by local mucosal damage. At this time, you need to go to the hospital for further examination to determine whether there is bladder cancer. 5. Some systemic non-specific symptoms, such as unexplained weight loss or weight loss in a short period of time.

How long can you live with bladder cancer in the middle and late stages?

Patients with advanced bladder cancer may not live very long. Many patients often die within 1-2 years. Therefore, the malignancy of bladder cancer is relatively high. After metastasis occurs, the patient's condition is often more serious and may pose a serious threat to the patient's life. Therefore, it is strongly recommended for patients with bladder cancer to receive timely treatment in the early stages. Early and timely surgical resection generally allows them to live longer. How long a patient with advanced bladder cancer can live depends on the patient's condition. Generally speaking, advanced bladder cancer refers to tumors that have invaded surrounding tissues and adjacent organs or have metastasized to lymph nodes or the entire body.

Can early bladder cancer be cured?

Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer can be cured by electrosurgical resection of the bladder tumor and adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. However, one characteristic of bladder tumors is that they are prone to recurrence, so patients must have regular checkups, actively receive treatment, and choose the right treatment method to achieve a cure. Even if the bladder tumor invades the muscle layer, it can be treated with cystectomy. Generally, early bladder cancer is non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
