When it comes to cancer signs, we’re told what to watch for. But there’s a “silent” cancer. It shows no symptoms until it’s advanced and often looks like less serious health problems, making it tough to spot. Still, there are things to look out for.

Cancer Research UK says around 10,400 new bladder cancer cases are found in the UK each year. That puts it 11th on the list of common UK cancers, with over one person diagnosed every hour. Bladder cancer starts with tumors or growths in the bladder lining and usually isn’t caught until it’s far along.

The most common bladder cancer sign is blood in pee. But this can also mean a UTI. Over 50% of women and 10% of men will get a UTI sometime. UTI symptoms include sharp pain and a constant urge to pee. So, many think it’s just a UTI when it could be bladder cancer.
