What is bladder cyst and what are its symptoms?

Bladder cyst is a cystic swelling under the bladder mucosa that protrudes into the bladder. If it is benign, it can be treated with simple medication. If medication is ineffective, surgical treatment may be considered. What are the symptoms of bladder cyst?

hematuria

Hematuria is the most common first symptom of bladder cancer. 85% of patients may experience recurrent painless intermittent macroscopic hematuria. The amount of bleeding may be more or less, and in severe cases there may be blood clots. 100% of patients will experience hematuria sooner or later during the course of bladder cancer.

Bladder irritation symptoms

The infiltration of the cancer itself, ulceration of cancerous tissue, necrosis, infection and blood clots can all become stimuli that cause the bladder muscles to contract and produce the urge to urinate; frequent urination, urgency, pain and persistent urge to urinate, persistent lumbar distension and pain, and urinary incontinence when the cancer invades the sphincter. Bladder irritation symptoms are generally a sign of poor prognosis.

Difficulty urinating

About 7% of cases suffer from urinary difficulties or even urinary retention due to the shedding of cancerous tissue or the tumor itself or blood clots blocking the internal opening of the bladder.

Upper urinary tract obstruction symptoms

When cancer invades the ureteral orifice, it causes the renal pelvis and ureteral orifice to dilate and accumulate water, or even become infected, causing varying degrees of backache, back pain, fever, etc. If both sides of the ureteral orifice are invaded, symptoms of acute renal failure may occur.

Lower abdominal mass

This is the first symptom in about 3% of cases, most of which are adenocarcinoma of the bladder top or solid bladder cancer of high malignancy in other parts. Rectal (or vaginal) digital examination or dissection of uneven lumps can be used to understand the scope and depth of tumor infiltration into the bladder wall, which is helpful for tumor staging estimation.

Systemic symptoms

Nausea, loss of appetite, fever, weight loss, anemia, weakness, cachexia, leukemoid reaction, etc.

If you experience any of the above symptoms, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to prevent further problems.
