According to media, actor Yang Qun unfortunately died of bladder cancer in the early morning of the 24th. In fact, Yang Qun suffered from various diseases more than two years before his death. He first performed surgical treatment due to spinal problems, but the disaster did not happen. After his spinal pain was cured, he was diagnosed with bladder cancer only a few months later, and his condition worsened rapidly. Although he insisted on fighting the disease for more than a year, the cancer cells quickly spread to the lungs and eventually died ineffectively.
Bladder cancer is less popular because it has a weird temper, "introverted personality, hidden, and deep cunning". It always "climbs the tail" and quietly erodes the human bladder, because the symptoms are not obvious and are often ignored, allowing it to be hidden and developed. For bladder cancer, early prevention, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are crucial.
What is bladder cancer
Bladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the urinary system and ranks first in the incidence of urogenital tumors in my country. The causes of bladder cancer are complex and can occur at any age, and the incidence rate increases with age. The high incidence rate is 50 to 70 years old. The incidence rate of bladder cancer in men is higher than that in women.
Risk factors
There are many causes of bladder cancer. In addition to genetic factors, smoking and long-term exposure to industrial chemical products (such as aromatic amine compounds) are also important causes of bladder cancer. In addition, long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation in the bladder and long-term foreign body stimulation (indwelling catheter , stones) are closely related to the occurrence of bladder cancer.
clinical symptoms
1.hematuria : Most patients with bladder cancer are hematuria, usually without obvious urination pain. Hematuria may only occur once or last for several days, and can be relieved or stopped by themselves, which often gives patients the illusion of "healing" and may attack again after a long period of time. The most common symptom of bladder cancer is hematuria that is not sensational and can be seen by the naked eye. This is a unique "abnormal urination signal" of bladder cancer. Almost every bladder cancer patient will appear, and about 85% of bladder cancer patients are treated for this. There are two types of hematuria: one is hematuria , and the other is microhematuria. Hematuria in the naked eye refers to blood-colored urine that can be seen directly by the eyes. Microhematuria in the urine can be found under a microscope with red blood cells . Hematuria in bladder cancer is mostly painless and intermittent, most of which are full-course hematuria, and a few are terminal hematuria. Hematuria with frequent urination in and frequent urination in and urgency is rare.
2. Bladder stimulation: Early bladder cancer produces relatively few urinary tract stimulation. If bladder cancer is also infected with infection, or tumor disease occurs in the bladder triangular area, it will lead to signs of urinary tract irritation, and the patient will develop signs of bladder irritation such as frequent urination, urgency, pain, and incomplete urination.
3.Difficult urination : Some patients have large size of bladder tumor growth, as well as tumors growing on the neck of the bladder, or tumors bleeding, and blood clots occur, resulting in long-term obstruction of urine flow, and the patients will have symptoms of difficulty in urination, mainly due to skewed urine flow, slow urination speed, and even urinary retention.
4. Frequent urination and urgent urination: If the cancer tumor grows in the bladder triangular area, bladder stimulation can occur earlier, and if urination pain occurs, it is no longer early stage.
5. Pain: If the tumor invades widely and is deep, pain may occur and worsen when the bladder contracts and urinates. If the tumor is located in the bladder neck, it can cause urethral infarction, and even urinary retention of may occur.
How to prevent and treat
The prevention and treatment of bladder cancer focuses on early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment. In daily life and work, everyone needs to pay attention to:
1. No smoking, smoking is one of the risk factors for bladder cancer. As the smoking time extends, the incidence of bladder cancer also increases significantly.
2. Avoid exposure to certain chemical substances in the environment and occupation, such as aromatic amine chemical substances, etc.
3. Have a balanced diet, do not consume large amounts of fried foods, high-fat foods, red meat, etc.
4. Drink adequate water, exercise moderately, pay attention to personal hygiene, maintain good living habits, and reduce the occurrence of chronic inflammation in the urinary tract and stones in the urinary tract.

1 It is not scary to suffer from bladder cancer. Early bladder cancer can achieve clinical cure , while middle and advanced bladder cancer is more difficult. The treatment of bladder cancer requires the decision of appropriate treatment plans based on the patient's physical condition, tumor staging and grading, growth mode, number, size, and location of tumors. With the advancement of medical technology, minimally invasive treatment, especially electroresection technology and laparoscopy technology, have been fully utilized, as well as treatment measures such as radiotherapy, immunity, and chemotherapy. However, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and inevitably lead to drug resistance. The intervention of traditional Chinese medicine treatment can effectively delay the emergence of drug resistance, improve the quality of life, and prolong the patient's survival. For example, the traditional Chinese medicine tablets prescribed through dialectical treatment mainly nourish the kidney and strengthen the spleen, and also eliminate phlegm and dampness, clear heat and stop bleeding, detoxify and remove blood stasis. At the same time, the application of traditional Chinese medicine can reduce the toxic side effects of chemotherapy and improve the patient's ability to tolerate chemotherapy. In addition to the unique Chinese medicine method in our department, Chinese medicine acupuncture patches are applied to stop bleeding and eliminate bleeding, fire needle to boost yang energy, acupuncture therapy, moxibustion, etc. to promote qi and unblock meridians, reduce turbidity and promote irritation, and further improve patients' immunity!

Total cystectomy is a common method for treating bladder cancer. After surgical treatment, postoperative rehabilitation is crucial. Although the in-situ ileocecum neo-bladder reconstruction surgery has obvious effect, postoperative rehabilitation also requires the auxiliary treatment measures of traditional Chinese medicine, such as external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and drug-assisted rehabilitation. Patients with bladder cancer undergo traditional Chinese medicine needle treatment after surgery, and the efficacy is very good.
Traditional Chinese medicine buried needles are to fix the special small needles in the skin or subcutaneous of the patient's acupoints for a long time. They are called intradermal needle therapy. They can provide weak and long-term stimulation to the skin, thereby regulating the patient's internal organs, unblocking the meridians, and achieving the purpose of treatment. The acupuncture points are Yinlingquan and Sanyinjiao. Stimulating Yinlingquan can enhance the body's resistance, and stimulating Sanyinjiao can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, calm the mind, and regulate menstruation.
patients have low complications after surgery, high safety, fewer complications, symptoms are reduced, and immune function and quality of life are improved. For patients with local pain after surgery, acupoint patching treatment is also favored by patients. Acupoint patching therapy is based on the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The Chinese medicine decoction is boiled into a paste, or the powder is dispersed on the paste, and then directly apply the acupoints and affected areas (Ashi acupoints). It is a non-invasive pain point therapy used to treat diseases. Bladder bleeding is the main clinical symptom of middle- and advanced bladder cancer. The department uses Xiaoji Danzi to add and subtract Xiaoji Danzi and combined with Western medicine hemagglutinin to treat patients with severe bleeding caused by bladder cancer. The result is also gratifying. After treatment, the naked eye hematuria and microscopic hematuria disappeared, and it has no effect on the liver and kidneys, and there is no adverse reaction.After chemotherapy, the patient's symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite and bladder irritation were significantly improved.
