10 signs of bladder cancer to look out for

2. Pain or burning when urinating

A burning or painful sensation when urinating may indicate bladder irritation.

If these pains persist despite treatment for a urinary tract infection, it is essential to consult a doctor .

3. Increased urinary urgency and frequency

If you suddenly notice:

• A frequent urge to urinate , including at night.
• A feeling of a bladder that is always full .
• Unexplained urinary leaks .

This may be due to a tumor irritating the bladder wall .

4. Recurrent urinary tract infections

Frequent and treatment-resistant urinary tract infections may indicate a more serious problem.

If you suffer from recurring infections with no apparent cause, seek further testing.
