Bladder cancer can have various symptoms. Here are five common warning signs:
1. Blood in the urine (hematuria) may cause the urine to appear red or cola-colored, or it might be detectable only under a microscope.
2. Needing to urinate more often than usual
3. Experiencing pain or a burning sensation during urination
4. Feeling a strong need to urinate even when the bladder isn’t full
5. Pain in the pelvic area or lower back can occur, especially in advanced stages of bladder cancer.
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for a complete evaluation.
