Doctors warn that bladder cancer is on the rise, but many miss its early warning signs, which are similar to symptoms of a urinary tract infection. The most distinct sign is blood in the urine, which may appear and disappear. Additional symptoms include frequent or urgent need to urinate, a burning sensation, a weak stream, and frequent nighttime urination. The main risk factor is smoking, responsible for about half of cases. Recent studies indicate an increase in the incidence of the disease among people under 50, especially women, possibly due to exposure to environmental pollutants. The article emphasizes that early detection is key to successful treatment and advises seeking medical advice for any blood in the urine or unusual symptoms.
