Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the bladder lining. The bladder is a part of the body system that filters waste from your blood and produces urine.According to a recent survey from the European Association of Urology , Europe has some of the highest incidence rates of bladder cancer in the world, yet understanding of the condition is still alarmingly low.
A change in the color of the urine or the presence of blood in the urine is generally the first indicator of bladder cancer and should prompt an emergency visit to a doctor or healthcare professional. However, more than half of those polled were unaware that a change in the color of their urine might be an early sign of bladder cancer.
An early diagnosis of bladder cancer may improve treatment results dramatically. The appearance of blood in urine is one of the most prevalent early signs of bladder cancer. According to the survey, 75% of adults do not always examine their urine for a change in color, and 22% rarely or never check their urine.Unwillingness to seek medical advice
The new survey has also shown that adults are unwilling to seek medical advice, even if they did notice symptoms. 20% of participants said that they would wait one week or longer before speaking to a doctor or healthcare professional if they noticed a change in the color of their urine from yellow to orange, pink or red. The most common reason for not seeking medical advice was that people expected it to improve by itself.
