What are the initial symptoms of bladder cancer?

 Symptoms of bladder cancer may include blood in the urine, pain when urinating, a persistent need to urinate, and a feeling of not being able to empty the bladder completely.

Other symptoms that may be caused by bladder cancer include abdominal pain, swelling in the legs, and fatigue. If you experience any of these symptoms, see your doctor right away. Bladder cancer is often treated successfully if it's caught early.
