Bladder Cancer Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore

15. Persistent hip pain

Persistent hip pain can be a concerning symptom when associated with bladder cancer. While not as common as other symptoms, it may occur due to the advanced stages of the disease its potential spread to surrounding areas. Bladder cancer primarily develops within the inner lining of the bladder. However, as the cancer progresses, it can infiltrate nearby tissues and organs, and in some cases, it may extend into the pelvic region, affecting structures like the hip bones and surrounding muscles and nerves. When bladder cancer reaches this advanced stage, it can exert pressure or directly affect the nerves and tissues in the hip area.
