10 signs of bladder cancer to look out for

2. Pain or burning when urinating

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

If this pain persists despite treatment of a urinary tract infection, a visit to the doctor is absolutely necessary.

3. Increased urge to urinate and frequency

If you suddenly notice:

• Frequent urge to urinate, even at night.

• The feeling of a constantly full bladder.

• Unexplained urine leakage.

This may be due to a tumor that irritates 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 recurrent infections for no apparent reason, get further examination.
