The Bladder is a hollow structure
(like a balloon) that sits in your
pelvis and stores urine that it
collects from your kidneys. When
your bladder is full urine is
expelled through the ureters.
Symptoms: The sudden appearance of
blood in your urine (known as
Haematuria) without any cause can be
a symptom of Bladder cancer. The
urine can appear anywhere from brown
to deep red - depending on the
volume of blood. There usually isn't
any pain unless the blood forms
clots along the dispelling channels.
Other reasons for blood: If blood
suddenly appears it may not
necessarily be because you have
cancer. There are a lot of other
conditions that cause this including
(but not limited to) to infection
and kidney stones.
Diagnosis: If you detect blood in
your urine - make an appointment to
see your doctor. Your doctor will
prescribe a blood test to check for
infection and perform other tests
such as checking your Rectum and
vagina for women. A cytoscope may be
used to "go inside" and locate
growing tumours. Your doctor may use
the cytoscope to obtain a biopsy
(sample of the growth).
Bladder Cancer: Superficial bladder
cancers (most common type) are
polyps growing on the inside lining
of the bladder. Your doctor may use
a term "Papillary", "Papillomas" or
"Bladder Warts" to describe it. They
can occur individually or as a
group.
Treatment: Bladder cancer tumors can
be removed by cutting them and
cauterizing the location of removal.
Cauterizing is a method of "burning"
the location to prevent bleeding.
The procedure can be very simple and
involve the use of a cytoscope.
