Facts
Diagnosing Bladder Cancer
Blood in the urine is the first warning sign of most bladder cancers. The urine may be a very pale yellow-red or, less often, darker red. Blood can appear one day and not the next, usually reappearing with bladder cancer. Although the blood may come from other, non-cancerous causes, it needs to be checked by a doctor.
Changes in bladder habits or irritative symptoms: Bladder cancer can cause changes in urination, such as needing to urinate more often than usual, feeling pain or burning during urination; and feeling as if you need to go right away even when the bladder isn't full. Conditions like infection, bladder stones, overactive bladder or enlarged prostate can cause this too, but it needs to be checked.
If the cancer is large, people may have additional symptoms such as lower back pain or being unable to urinate.

Bladder Training Tips to Reduce Bathroom Trips
Par Anne Harding on 27 septembre 2011

An overactive bladder contracts abnormally, triggering the urge to urinate too often. This can lead to urge incontinence, which occurs when you suddenly feel a strong urge to urinate but don't make it to the bathroom in time.
The good news is that bladder training can help.

Intravesical botulinum toxin injections are an established therapy for OAB, but most studies have focused on patients with DOA, according to investigators at Nottingham University Hospitals in Nottingham, U.K. Up to 66% of patient with OAB, however, lack this finding, the researchers noted.
