Pay attention to hematuria and bladder tumors: Early diagnosis saves lives

Op. Dr. Buğra İçli, who provides important information about the common occurrence of hematuria (blood in urine) and bladder tumors, stated that these two conditions could indicate serious health problems in individuals, especially those over the age of 45-50, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis in treatment.
Hematuria is defined as the presence of blood in the urine and is generally a sign of an underlying health issue. Bladder tumors, on the other hand, are defined as abnormal cell growth within the bladder and could be associated with cancer. Op. Dr. Buğra İçli from Çakmak Erdem Hospital highlighted the risk factors of hematuria and bladder tumors, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis.
Is every bladder tumor cancerous?
Op. Dr. Buğra İçli stated, “Only a very small portion of bladder tumors can be benign, most are malignant cancers commonly referred to as malignancies. Early diagnosis plays a critical role in saving lives in these cases. Routine health check-ups, identifying risk factors, and being attentive to possible symptoms are crucial in the early diagnosis of issues such as hematuria and bladder tumors.
What to expect during the treatment process
Treatment options have a wide range and may include surgical intervention, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Personalized treatment plans are created considering the patient’s age, overall health condition, and the nature of the tumor. Op. Dr. Buğra İçli stated, “Hematuria and bladder tumors can cause serious health concerns. Not ignoring the symptoms and evaluating the risk factors are important for maintaining your health. Routine health check-ups can play a key role in the early diagnosis of such conditions.”
