Bladder cancer symptoms
One of the first warning signals of bladder cancer is blood in the urine. Sometimes,
there is enough blood in the urine to change the color of the urine to a yellow-red or a
dark red. At other times, the color of the urine appears normal but chemical testing of
the urine reveals the presence of blood cells. A change in bladder habits such as painful
urination, increased frequency of urination and a feeling of needing to urinate but not
being able to do so are some of the signs of possible bladder cancer. All of these
symptoms may also be caused by conditions other than cancer, but it is important to see a
doctor and have the symptoms evaluated. When detected early and treated appropriately,
patients have a very good chance of being cured completely.
