2. Blood in the Urine
One of the more common symptoms of bladder cancer is finding blood in the urine. Noticing blood in the urine can be quite alarming. This is typically a sign that there is something not right going on within the body.
Blood in the urine caused by bladder cancer is often quite visible, painless, and will come and go. In fact, many people who have bladder cancer will notice blood in their urine for a day or two and then it will go away. The blood in the urine then comes back in a few days or at times even weeks later.
With bladder cancer, blood is often present throughout the entire urination process. This acts as a clue that something is wrong, but it is not a hard and fast rule that a person has bladder cancer. At times, blood is not seen by the naked eye but is picked up through a urine sample using a microscope.
