Inflammation, infection. Urinary tract infections, kidney stones, bladder stones, etc., also increase the risk of bladder cancer due to chronic irritation to the bladder.
drugs. Painkillers such as phenacetin and diabetes drugs such as pioglitazone increase the risk of bladder cancer.
Genetic inheritance, etc.
