Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer is a condition in which abnormal cells in the bladder, the organ that stores urine, grow uncontrollably. The bladder is part of the urinary system, and its main function is to collect and release urine.

Common symptoms of bladder cancer may include blood in the urine (hematuria), changes in urinary habits, such as increased frequency or pain during urination, and discomfort in the pelvic area. It’s important to note that these symptoms can also be caused by other conditions, so a thorough medical evaluation is crucial for an accurate diagnosis.

Risk factors for bladder cancer include smoking, exposure to certain chemicals, chronic bladder infections, and a family history of the disease. Regular check-ups and discussions with healthcare providers about potential risk factors are essential for early detection and timely intervention.
