Hematuria is mainly related to urinary tract diseases, but many people do not know that it can also be a precursor of bladder cancer, so how to distinguish it?
Hematuria may be bladder cancer In fact, painless hematuria is one of the early symptoms of bladder cancer. Most bladder cancer occurs in middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old, and the most obvious symptom in early stage is hematuria, but just because it is painless and few people will observe the urine symptoms when urinating, thus it is often ignored. When the hematuria worsens, it is often at an advanced stage, and the effectiveness of treatment is greatly reduced.
Therefore, you should pay careful attention to the state of your urine when you go to the bathroom, and if you find any abnormalities or hematuria, you should not delay.
Of course, if you are not sure whether the hematuria is bladder cancer or not, you can also combine it with other symptoms of bladder cancer to determine. The reason why hematuria occurs in bladder cancer is due to the rupture of blood vessels caused by the tumor lesion, resulting in bleeding. If the disease is combined with infection, it will also be accompanied by symptoms of frequent urination, urgent urination and painful urination, but there are also a large proportion of people who do not have these symptoms.
The color of blood is sometimes bright red and sometimes dark red. Generally, the color is bright red during the daytime when holding urine for a short time, and it is slightly darker at night because of holding urine for a long time, and some blood clots may be mixed in the blood.
