Bladder cancer is often called a “silent killer”
Bladder cancer is often called a “silent killer” because it can develop with few early symptoms, making it easy to miss until it advances. The image highlights the need to recognize the 10 common signs that may indicate bladder cancer: c 1. Blood in urine (hematuria) – urine may appear pink, red, or cola‑colored. 2. Frequent urination – needing to go more often than usual. 3. Painful urination (dysuria) – burning or discomfort while peeing. 4. Urinary urgency – a sudden, strong need to urinate. 5. Pelvic or back pain – discomfort in the lower abdomen or lower back. 6. Unexplained weight loss – losing weight without trying. 7. Fatigue – feeling unusually tired or weak. 8. Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) – repeated infections that don’t clear easily. 9. Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying – sensation that the bladder isn’t fully emptied. 10. Changes in urine odor or appearance – foul smell or cloudy urine. Early detection greatly improves treatment outcomes. If you experience any of these symptoms—especially blood in the urine—consult a healthcare professional promptly for evaluation, which may include urine tests, imaging, or cystoscopy.
