What are the signs and symptoms of bladder cancer?

"Blood in the urine, what we call hematuria, is the most common presenting sign or symptom of bladder cancer. Usually, blood in the urine is painless--it doesn't hurt when you urinate, you just see red in the urine. There are other signs and symptoms, the most common is frequent urination, burning with urination, or urgent urination, here the tumor irritates the lining of the bladder causing it to either bleed or make you feel like you have to urinate much more frequently.

The other symptoms we see tend to be from spread or progression of bladder cancer. It can block the kidney tubes and give you pain in your side, or it can spread to you liver, lungs or bone, giving you symptoms like coughing or back pain. The most common symptom, though, is blood in the urine, and this will be intermittent. The mistake people make is that it may occur once, it may go away, and they don't ever see a doctor or report it until it's a little bit too late.
