Bladder Cancer
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Bladder cancer is a growth of malignant cells in the lining of the bladder, the organ that stores urine before it is expelled.
Frequent symptoms: The most common sign is the presence of blood in the urine, which may be visible or detected in tests; discomfort or a frequent need to urinate may also appear.
When to see a doctor? Blood in the urine always deserves a medical evaluation, even though its causes are diverse and not all serious. Detecting the cause in time is what is recommended.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the one who evaluates this condition; when an oncologic process is confirmed, the oncologist usually joins and, where appropriate, the radiation oncologist. If you notice changes in your urine, it is advisable to consult a health professional without delay.
