The incidence of urinary bladder cancer is increasing worldwide. This problem starts in the cells that are inside the bladder. Bladder cancer is such a serious problem that it should not be ignored at all. There are many people who start treatment late due to lack of knowledge about its symptoms. So let’s identify the early signs and symptoms of bladder cancer, which should not be ignored.
What is bladder cancer?
Bladder cancer is a type of urological malignancy that begins in the cells inside the bladder. Bladder cancer begins when the cells that make up the bladder grow out of control. In the lower part of the abdomen, there is a triangular muscular organ called the bladder and it is here that urine is stored. The walls of the bladder relax and expand when collecting urine and contract and flatten to empty urine through the urethra. If the symptoms of bladder cancer are detected early, early diagnosis and treatment can be done. Here are its initial symptoms.
early symptoms and signs of bladder cancer
• Blood in the urine or formation of a blood clot.
• If pain or burning is felt while urinating, it should be treated as a warning bell and should be immediately consulted by a doctor.
• Frequent urination especially at night.
• Urinary hesitancy i.e. feeling the urge to urinate but not being able to urinate and incomplete emptying of the bladder, leading to increased frequency of urination.
