10 Signs of Cervical Cancer
Cervical Cancer Sign #9: Hematuria
Hematuria refers to the presence of red blood cells in the urine. It can be divided into gross or microscopic hematuria. Gross hematuria can be seen by the naked eye while microscopic hematuria can only be detected through a urine dipstick or urinalysis.
Hematuria can occur when the kidneys or urinary tract are affected. In cervical cancer, the growth of the tumor along the epithelial surface can invade the bladder and rectum causing constipation, hematuria, fistula, and more.
