How to diagnose bladder cancer fastly

in mgsc •  6 years ago 

There are 3 types of bladder cancer, but the most common is by far the urothelial carcinoma: cancer of the inner lining of the bladder. If you suspect you might have bladder cancer, schedule an appointment with your primary care doctor
immediately. While undergoing the bladder cancer test, you will have to undergo a series of medical testing procedures,
including a urine test, a cystoscopy and a CT scan or an MRI. You may also need a tissue sample, which will be tested for
cancer cells. If you are diagnosed with bladder cancer, talk to your doctor about your treatment options.

Watch for signs of blood in your urine. This is the first symptom of bladder cancer that most people notice. Healthy urine

varies in color from transparent to shades of yellow. If you notice red or brown discoloration in the urine, this may be a

sign of blood in the urine
Blood can be in your urine for many reasons, of which only one is bladder cancer. Conditions that include UTI, kidney stones

and an enlarged prostate can also cause bloody urine.
Consult your doctor immediately if you notice blood or discoloration in the urine. Even if it is not caused by cancer, it

can be a sign of another serious condition.

Pay attention to pelvic pain. Unexplained pain in the pelvis can be a sign of bladder cancer, as can bone pain in and around

the groin. Bladder cancer can also be manifested by abrupt and involuntary weight loss and swelling in the legs.
Consult your doctor if you notice any of these symptoms.

Schedule an appointment with your general health care provider. If you see blood in your urine or experience pelvic pain,

consult your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor will have access to the medical testing equipment used to diagnose

bladder cancer. You are likely to be asked about the factors commonly associated with bladder cancer, including
A history of smoking.
A family history of cancer.
Dietary habits that can lead to bladder cancer. These include excessive consumption of fried meat and chronic dehydration.
Prolonged use of certain medications associated with bladder cancer. These include taking pioglitazone (used to treat

diabetes) for more than a year and taking cyclophosphamide (given to chemotherapy patients).

Provide a urine sample. Most likely, your general practitioner or urologist will request a urine sample as a first step in

testing to determine if you have bladder cancer. Then they will perform a urine cytology test to determine if their urine

shows signs of a tumor or cancer cells
To avoid having to make a trip back to the doctor's office (or wait until you have to urinate), plan to drink a large glass

of water approximately one hour before your appointment time.
You are likely to receive a response from your doctor regarding the results of the cytology test in 1 or 2 days.

Undergo a vaginal or rectal exam. In some cases of advanced bladder cancer, cancerous tumor tissue in an individual's

bladder can be felt through the vaginal or rectal wall. If your doctor suspects that you may have advanced bladder cancer,

you can perform a rapid rectal or vaginal exam
At this point, if your doctor suspects you have bladder cancer (or does not have the equipment to perform more tests in your

office), you will be referred to a hospital.
