Precursors and Threats Associated With Bladder Cancer
There are two primary bladder cancer symptoms - a drastic change in urination habits or patterns, and blood in the urine. Unfortunately, many instances of this potentially deadly disease are still unrecognized in people's lives.
Approximately 54,300 new cases of bladder cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. every year, and over 12,000 people die of the disease. It is the sixth most common cancer in the country. And though the five-year survival rate sits at an impressive 81 percent, the chances for full recovery are dramatically improved if the disease is caught early.

That's the reason recognizing and diagnosing bladder cancer symptoms is crucial. So, if you're interested in learning more about the signs of bladder cancer and potential causes of the disease, read on.
Evidences and Signs Associated with Bladder Cancer
Bloody Urine: The primary symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the urine. While bloody urine can often be an indicator of other bladder problems (kidney cancer, kidney stones, bladder infections), it's almost always exhibited in patients diagnosed with bladder cancer.
Urination Patterns: Most people diagnosed with bladder cancer complain of a frequent urge to pee, possible urinary incontinence and difficulty making it through the night without having to use the bathroom multiple times. Unfortunately, most patients with bladder cancer are older and don't recognize this symptom as a potential indicator of a more serious problem.
Causes and Risk Factors Associated with Bladder Cancer
Smoking: Smokers are more than twice as likely to develop bladder cancer than nonsmokers. Smoking causes about half of the deaths from bladder cancer among men and over 30% of bladder cancer deaths among women.
The carcinogens in cigarettes make their way into the blood stream and finally through the bladder and into the urine, which is why they're such a major cause of bladder cancer.
Exposure at the Work Place: Aromatic amines, types of industrial chemicals which are often used in the dye industry, are considered a major cause of bladder cancer.

Other organic chemicals, like those used in rubber plants, leather manufacturers, fabrics and textiles and printing firms, are also a higher risk factor for the disease.
Race: Bladder cancer is typically more common in Caucasians than other races.
Age: The risk for developing bladder cancer increases with age. The average age for those diagnosed with the disease is around 68 years. Meanwhile, less than 1% of bladder cancer patients are age 39 and under.
Chronic Bladder Problems: Patients who have a long-term history of kidney stones, urinary infections, bladder stones or other forms of chronic bladder irritation may be at an increased risk for developing bladder cancer.
If the risk factors listed above apply to you, it's important that you be able to not only recognize bladder cancer symptoms (bloody urine, changing urination habits), but that you also act on them and seek the advice of a physician.
When confronted with symptoms of any form of cancer, you are much better off taking precautionary steps to ensure your health than to assume no problem while allowing something dangerous to spread through your body unchecked.

Any fast acting home remedies for a UTI?
kougaswoman69 asked on Mon, 14 Dec, 2009
Okay, so once again I've got a Urinary Tract Infection/Bladder Infection. The first time I took antibiotics and it was gone quickly but I probably won't be able to see the doctor till Wednesday. Anyone know any home remedies that work? T_T

It will be alright to take a urinary tract anesthetic for the next two days...it makes the pain go away...but see a doctor for the infection, the anesthetic doesnt do anything to treat the infection.
Any pharmacy will have one....usually in the section with tampons, etc

Tony's advise is actually very dangerous and inaccurate. UTIs DO require antibiotics.
UTIs are one of the few indications in medicine where antibiotics are 100% indicated, every time. An untreated UTI can ascend the ureters and lead to pyelonephritis (kidney infection). If that's left untreated it can cause scarring to the kidneys and even become systemic and in rare cases, result in septicemia.
Cranberry juice will have no effect on an infection that has already established. I am aware that a recent small scale study has shown that cranberry juice may play a part in preventing a UTI from occurring, but let me make clear, it will have NO effect on an active infection.
As usual, none of Tony's useless advice will help.

Urinary tract infections usually do not require a doctor and the antibiotics used for such infections can lead to an imbalance of intestinal flora since they destroy good and bad flora alike. The cranberry juice suggestion is a tried and true one - just be sure that you use 100% cranberry juice with no added sugars or other juices (read the label carefully, there is a lot of deceptive labeling when it comes to juices).
Here are some other alternatives to consider:
* To fight infection, take two capsules three times a day of echinacea and Oregon grape root or goldenseal. Or a half-teaspoon of the tincture every hour in acute cases.
* Asparagus. take about 5 or 6 asparagus stalks. boil them until squashy. Eat and drink the juice from the pot. Do this about 2 or three times over a few days. It should help clear the infection quickly.
* Raw apple cider vinegar: 2 tsp per glass with a tsp. of raw honey (the vinegar and honey reset your system).
* Parsley leaves what ever kind of parsley you have. Boil water. Pour in cup . Use just a small (emphasis on small) pinch of parsley and place it in the cup. Let steep for a few minutes and you can either filter the parsley out or drink it. Do not use parsley if you are pregnant, this can/will induce labor. Will work within 20 minutes to help with pain.
* Cashews/almonds.
* Rhubarb.
* Crandophilius (take two capsules four times daily with a glass of water. drink 8-10 glasses a water each day. do not consume within 2 hours of taking antibiotics).
* Pau d'arco tea. Try to find pau d'arco tea in loose leaf. It is the inner bark of a tree that grows in south america so it will look kind of weird. Pour boiling water over a tablespoon and let it steep for about 15 minutes. Drink this 3 times a day in conjunction with other remedies. This works for a variety of illnesses as pau d'arco has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.
* Take a teaspoon of baking soda and add it too a full glass of water. This will subside the burning sensation. Do not use this method with cranberry juice, the two together will cancel out. Also, don't use this too much, or if you are sensitive to salt.
* If you have access to a well-stocked herbal supply store: For a more severe infection, combine equal parts of pipsissewa, buchu, echinacea, and uva ursi tinctures. Take 20 drops every two hours for the first two days and then one teaspoon four times a day until the infection clears. Drink a demulcent tea such as marshmallow root at the same time to counter the strong antiseptic effect of uva ursi.
