Bladder Cancer Symptoms

Bladder cancer is common disease in the United States. Research tells us that it occurs mainly in industrialized countries, such as the US, France, and Canada.

Bladder cancer symptoms are few, yet very noticeable. Bladder cancer symptoms include:
  • Blood in the urine: The presence of blood in urine, is called hematuria. Blood can either be seen by the eye, in which it is called gross hematuria. Blood can also be seen under a microscope, and it is then called microscopic hematuria.
  • Pain during urination: Pain during urination is called dysuria. Pain can range from mild to severe.
  • Frequent urination: Having to urinate often and during the night is also a symptom.


These bladder cancer symptoms are also symptoms of other illnesses. Please see a doctor if you are experiencing anything that is abnormal for you.
