Symptoms of urological cancers 💚
Different types of urological cancer can cause different types of symptoms. Some possible symptoms are listed below. Having any of these symptoms does not mean you have cancer. But it could still be something that needs treatment. So it is important to get them checked out.
- Blood in the urine (p*e)
- Pain in the lower tummy or in one side of the lower back
- Needing to p*e more often than usual, especially at night
- Difficulty p*eing, for example pain or discomfort, a weak flow or having to strain to pass urine
- Urgent need to p*e
- Feeling like your bladder is not empty after p*eing
- A lump in the testicle, groin or on the p***s
- A growth or sore (ulcer) or changes in skin on the p***s, or discharge or bleeding from the p***s
Urological cancers can be easier to treat if they are diagnosed at an early stage.
It can feel embarrassing to talk about these symptoms, but your GP and other healthcare professionals are used to talking about these problems. They would prefer you to use the words you are comfortable with rather than medical words so they can best help and advise you.
