Urological surgeon, andrologist, oncourologist Mark Gadzian recalled that delay in treatment is a serious factor of complications.
If the kidney becomes inflamed against the background of a stone in the ureter, this is a threat of sepsis. We delayed the tumor in the kidney – it grew and metastasized. The larger the size of the prostate adenoma, the higher the risk of complications due to bleeding during surgery, the doctor warned. A stone in the kidney – if you hesitate, the kidney may die.
– If you didn’t turn up in time for blood in the urine – there is a threat of total damage to bladder cancer and you have to remove the organ, the doctor noted in his blog .
Signs of bladder cancer:
1. Blood in the urine (hematuria). One of the most common signs of the disease. Blood may be visible (red or pink urine) or invisible, which can only be detected by testing.
2. Frequent and painful urination. Bladder cancer can cause changes in how often you urinate and may be painful.
3. I always want to go to the toilet. Constant feeling of a full bladder, even after urination.
4. Pain in the bladder area, discomfort in the lower abdomen.
5. Weakness and fatigue. Bladder cancer can cause general weakness and fatigue associated with the cancer process.
6. Weight loss for no apparent reason.
Who is at risk?
- Smokers. Smoking is one of the main risk factors for developing bladder cancer. Substances contained in tobacco smoke accumulate in the bladder and increase the risk of developing cancer.
- Older people. The risk of bladder cancer increases with age. Most cases are diagnosed in people over 55 years of age.
- Floor. Men have a higher risk of developing this type of cancer compared to women. This is due to differences in the structure of the urinary system and hormonal factors.
- Professional factors.
- Genetic factor.
