The bladder is a hollow and flexible pouch in your pelvis. Bladder stores urine before it leaves your body. Your kidneys make pee. Tubes are called ureters to carry the pee from your kidneys to your bladder. During the toilet, bladder muscles push the urine out through a tube which is called the urethra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several <strong>Bladder Cancer Causes<\/strong> such as Smoking, tobacco\nuse, past radiation exposure and chronic irritation of the lining of the\nbladder. When bladder cells become abnormal and grow out of control that means\nyou get the Bladder Cancer. Over time, a tumor forms which is spread to nearby\nlymph nodes &amp; other organs. Bladder cancer is rare. It accounts for just 5% of\nall new cancers in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_73 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\r\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\r\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\r\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\r\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kayawell.com\/blog\/bladder-cancer-stages-symptoms-diagnosis-treatment\/#Bladder_Cancer_Symptoms\" title=\"Bladder Cancer Symptoms:\">Bladder Cancer Symptoms:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kayawell.com\/blog\/bladder-cancer-stages-symptoms-diagnosis-treatment\/#Bladder_Cancer_Diagnosis\" title=\"Bladder Cancer Diagnosis:\">Bladder Cancer Diagnosis:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kayawell.com\/blog\/bladder-cancer-stages-symptoms-diagnosis-treatment\/#Bladder_Cancer_Stages\" title=\"Bladder Cancer Stages:\">Bladder Cancer Stages:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kayawell.com\/blog\/bladder-cancer-stages-symptoms-diagnosis-treatment\/#Treatment\" title=\"Treatment:\">Treatment:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kayawell.com\/blog\/bladder-cancer-stages-symptoms-diagnosis-treatment\/#Prevention\" title=\"Prevention:\">Prevention:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bladder_Cancer_Symptoms\"><\/span>Bladder Cancer Symptoms:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make an appointment if you have any symptoms:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first major symptom is blood in the urine.
