Overview
Bladder cancer must be differentiated from renal cancer, renal stones, prostate cancer, and cystitis.
Differential Diagnosis
Bladder cancer must be differentiated from:
- Renal cancer
- Renal stones
- Prostate cancer
- Cystitis
- Glomerulonephritis
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia
- Prostatitis
- Pyelonephritis

Cystitis must also be differentiated from sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis.[10]
Cystitis can be differentiated from other diseases that cause lower urinary tract irritation symptoms, such as: dysuria, urgency and frequency in addition to urethral dyscharge , the differential list include: urethritis, cervicitis, vulvovaginitis, epididimitis, prostatitis , and syphilis.[8][11][12][13]
Disease | Findings |
---|---|
Cystitis | Bladder inflammation, Features with increased frequency and urgency, dysuria, and suprapubic pain. Is more common among women. E.coli is the most common pathogen[14][15][16][17]. |
Urethritis | infection of the urethra,causes dysuria and urethral discharge[12][18][19] |
Bacterial vulvovaginitis | Presents with dysuria and pruritus, Vaginal discharge and odor are almost always present, caused by Gardnerella species[20]. |
Cervicitis | Often asymptomatic,some women have an abnormal vaginal discharge and vaginal bleeding (especially after sexual intercourse)[21] |
Prostatitis | bacterial infection of the prostate,causes discomfort during ejaculation[22] |
Epididymitis | Presents with scrotal pain and swelling accompanied by fever and lower urinary tract irritation symptoms(dysuria and frequency)[23]. |
Syphilis | Presents with generalized systemic symptoms such as malaise, fatigue, headache and fever. Skin eruptions may be subtle and asymptomatic. It is classically described as 1) non-pruritic bilateral symmetrical mucocutaneous rash; 2) non-tender regional lymphadenopathy; 3) condylomata lata; and 4) patchy alopecia.[11] |
