Repeated UTIs may cause long-term bladder inflammation. Chronic irritation can damage bladder lining cells, a known risk factor for cancer.
Men, older adults, and those with weak immunity or untreated UTIs face a higher risk of complications linked to bladder cancer.
Frequent UTIs and bladder cancer share symptoms like pain, urgency, and blood in urine—making proper medical evaluation essential.
Persistent UTIs should never be ignored. Early cystoscopy, imaging, or urine tests can help rule out serious causes, including cancer.
Stay hydrated, complete antibiotic courses, and schedule regular urological check-ups to reduce risks and protect bladder health.
