What Are the Symptoms of Bladder Cancer?

Smoking is a major risk factor for bladder cancer, as well as for most other forms of cancer. This is simply because tobacco contains carcinogenic (carcinogenic) substances. If you smoke heavily for years, these substances gradually permeate into your blood stream and are metabolized into your urine, where they remain inactive.

Symptoms of Bladder Cancer

Eventually, the toxins begin to attack healthy cells in your body. Cancerous cells begin to rapidly grow, while healthy tissue gradually deteriorates. As a result, bladder cancer progresses slowly over time. This type of cancer is called non-Hodgkins lymphoma, and accounts for more than 90 percent of all malignancies.

One of the key signs of bladder cancer is hematuria--a decrease in the volume of the urine that a person produces. Hematuria is caused by a decrease in the number of red blood cells produced by the white blood cells. When there is an increase in the number of red blood cells, the oxygen level in the urine increases. Because more oxygen causes a higher pH, which means that the urine is less alkaline. When a person has either an abnormally high pH or low pH, the result is often hematuria. It is also possible to have hematuria due to trauma to the lower urinary tract, such as when the bladder becomes inflamed or if infection spreads through the urinary tract.

Another sign of bladder cancer is a noticeable change in the appearance of the urinary bladder, such as loss of its color or shape, or a change in the amount of urine produced. Some people may even experience pain during urination. In very rare cases, the cancer can spread from the bladder into the kidney and cause kidney problems, such as kidney failure. When these cells begin to grow and move out of the kidney, they are called "steatoma." Other signs that may indicate bladder cancer include painful urination, such as episodes of incontinence. This pain can come on suddenly and disappear just as quickly.

There are two types of bladder cancer: those that start in the lining of the bladder and those that start outside of it. The inside bladder wall is called the glomerular lining. It is made up of mucus-like material and has a long thin tube running from it out of the body. When it comes into contact with a cancerous cell, the lining can be easily damaged. The result is usually death from asphyxiation, although in some cases, the damage may not kill the person.

On the other hand, symptoms that occur outside the bladder wall can be much more dangerous. In these cases, the bladder is not involved in the process of passing urine, so any damage to the lining results in severe and even fatal back pain. Common symptoms of both types of bladder cancer include ureteral bleeding, blood in the urine, and pain in the back or side area. Sometimes, the only symptom is urination, with no loss of urine. If a person has any of these symptoms, they should see a doctor as quickly as possible.

Some people might think that the symptoms of bladder cancer will go away once the person stops drinking. In fact, once you stop drinking, the problem often returns. Chemicals in the urine stream are constantly moving, carrying nutrients to the bladder, and sometimes getting passed into the stool. These wastes irritate the lining of the bladder. If this irritation goes untreated, it can progress to cancer, causing the patient to extreme pain in the abdomen, kidney failure, and possibly death.

Chemicals in the urine can be stopped by using special products that dissolve in the liquid. Many people have become dehydrated as a result of avoiding urine, and this causes severe back pain and can even cause the patient to lose their bladder control. Doctors have developed drugs to help patients who have been diagnosed with bladder cancer, but these drugs can't stop the urine flow entirely. They can, however, reduce the amount of urine a person produces. This reduction can make a huge difference in the symptoms a person is experiencing, and is very helpful in relieving back pain.

What Food Allergies Is and How You Can Recognize Them

Food allergies occur when the body's immune system wrongly identifies proteins found in certain foods as a potential threat. Because of this, some chemicals are introduced into the body which result in an allergic reaction. It is these chemicals that ultimately cause the actual symptoms of a food allergy. If left untreated, however, food allergies can lead to severe illness and even death. Peanut and tree nuts are two of the most common food allergies. Many children have a food allergy to either one or both tree nuts and/or peanuts. A severe reaction may take hold if they are exposed to both tree nuts or peanuts at once. Overdosing on peanuts or tree nuts (especially peanuts) can lead to a life threatening high fever. Tree nuts and peanuts are both protein rich and have a long chain of amino acids. They are also both rich in protein and have several essential amino acids necessary for human development. For this reason, they are frequently found in a person's diet. They are als...

Allergic Reactions in Dogs

Allergies to dogs, just like allergies to people, can be prevented by keeping your dog clean. A clean house will also reduce the exposure that the dog has to different allergens that can cause an allergic reaction. Different allergens come from different types of foods and other substances that can be found in a home. Some common allergic reactions to dogs include runny nose, nasal congestion, hives, coughing, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, swelling of the face or lips, eyes that tear up easily and headaches. These symptoms are caused by the body's response to foreign materials or allergens. Dogs can get these allergies from a number of different things. Pollens from grasses and trees are the most likely culprits that can cause allergies. Other factors can be exposure to fleas or ticks. If you notice any kind of allergic reaction to a pet, then you should look at the breed of the dog and the common allergens that they are more prone to. You can talk to a veterinarian about the all...

Symptoms of Allergies to Pollen

Pollen is one of the most common causes for allergic reactions in humans. When pollen particles are inhaled, the body becomes hypersensitive to them and releases histamine to counteract the effects of the pollen. The symptoms of allergies to pollen include skin rashes, hives, and swelling of the airway. Asthma can also be developed from exposure to pollen. There are other conditions that can be made worse by exposure to certain types of allergens. Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe. The symptoms can appear right away or over time, depending on the allergen. If the allergic reaction is delayed, it may not cause any serious side effects. However, if an allergic reaction is treated quickly and appropriately, it can result in the avoidance of further damage to the body and can even result in preventing the development of further allergies. When dealing with symptoms of allergies to pollen, you should identify those factors that you are allergic to and avoid them. Pollen is a ...

Understanding Cold Vs Allergies

Have you ever considered cold or allergies? Colds are one of those things that seem to always aggravate the sinuses. It is a common fact that colds can cause more pain and discomfort than they do good. If you're wondering if there are any better options, you might want to read on. Here is a breakdown of the colds and allergies that you might experience if you have a cold or allergies. The common cold is caused by the virus rhizome and the glandular cells that are in the nose. When the temperature outside is cold, the cold virus settles in your lungs. This causes the symptoms that we all know - sore throat, stuffy nose, congestion, headache and general fatigue. In addition, the cold may also bring about a cough. This is usually accompanied with other symptoms like a runny nose and a sore throat. The common cold is not as common as some might think. Statistics show that over half the people get colds at least once during their lifetime. When the cold is gone, it doesn't mean that...
