Why Blood in Urine 
Should Not Be Ignored
• The most common early symptom of 
bladder cancer is blood in urine 
(hematuria).
• It may appear bright red or brownish or be 
microscopic, visible only through lab tests.
• Many people ignore it, thinking it’s due to 
infection or minor irritation.
• However, even a single episode of 
unexplained bleeding should be medically 
evaluated.

Confirming the Cause — 
Key Diagnostic Steps
• Urine test: Checks for cancer cells.
• Ultrasound / CT scan: Detects bladder 
growths.
• Cystoscopy: Camera exam of bladder (most 
accurate).
• Biopsy: Confirms cancer type and stage.
• MRI / PET scan: Checks cancer spread.
• Early detection enables easier, faster 
recovery.
