What if there is a tumor in the bladder?

A tumor growing in the bladder generally refers to a tumor. If it is malignant, it will cause great harm to the patient. The incidence of bladder cancer has been relatively high in recent years. There are many causes of bladder cancer, which are closely related to some bad living habits, such as occupational factors, frequent contact with dangerous goods, and frequent smoking and drinking are important causes of bladder cancer.

What if there is a tumor in the bladder?

(1) Lack of water:

Lack of water may cause bladder cancer. Experts point out that people who drink very little fluid may have a greater risk of bladder cancer. Minimal fluid intake concentrates the urine and prolongs urination. If the bladder retains concentrated urine for a long time, it may increase the risk of bladder cancer. Therefore, we should pay attention to drinking more water in our daily life.

(2) Occupational factors:

How does bladder cancer occur? The occurrence of bladder cancer is also related to some occupational factors, such as exposure to benzene dyes, which is the most common industrial risk factor for bladder cancer. An increased risk of bladder cancer has been reported in the following occupations: auto workers, painters, truck drivers, well drillers, leather workers, metallurgists, mechanics, dry cleaners, papermakers, barbers, beauticians, oncologists, garment workers, and plumbers.

(3) Tobacco:

Tobacco may also cause bladder cancer. Studies have shown that 25% to 65% of bladder cancer patients are smokers, and compared with non-smokers, smokers have a four-fold increased risk of bladder cancer. Therefore, friends who smoke should pay attention to quitting smoking in time. Quitting smoking can reduce the risk of bladder cancer. Smoking is one of the most common causes of bladder cancer. Therefore, it is recommended that people pay attention to controlling their smoking habits in their daily lives. This can not only prevent bladder cancer, but also prevent other diseases, such as lung cancer and other malignant tumors.

(4) Pelvic radiotherapy:

How does bladder cancer develop? Pelvic radiotherapy can also increase the risk of bladder cancer. Experts say that women who receive pelvic radiation therapy for cervical or ovarian cancer have a two- to four-fold increased risk of bladder cancer.

(5) Phenacetin:

The occurrence of bladder cancer should also be treated with caution when using phenacetin. Phenacetin is an analgesic that has been withdrawn from the market in the United States but is still used in China. Studies show that high doses of phenacetin can increase the risk of bladder cancer. Other abnormalities in tryptophan and niacin metabolism may contribute to bladder cancer, but these abnormalities also occur in other chronic diseases. Schistosoma haematobium, leukoplakia, glandular cystitis, urinary stones, urinary retention, etc. that parasitize the bladder may also be causes of bladder cancer.
