Signs and Symptoms of

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer has very few signs or symptoms in the early stages. Early detection of this cancer
is rather difficult. Often, you get to know of the existence of prostate cancer when you go for any
other medical checkup like a digital rectal examination (DRE) or prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
tests.

Prostate cancer treatments can cause various side effects like erectile dysfunction or impotence, or
bladder control problems, etc.

As you age, the prostate gland enlarges and causes blockage against the urinary bladder or
urethra. This is benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. BPH is not cancer; however, signs and
symptoms of BPH are similar to those of prostate cancer. You need to undergo a thorough medical
check-up and testing to confirm the exact diagnosis of your ailment.

Growth of the prostate is not always linked to prostate cancer. Some men experience continued
prostate growth. Although this could cause urinary problems, it may not be indicative of prostate
cancer. This non-cancerous growth of the prostate is not a cause for worry.

You may not experience any symptoms at all. Signs and symptoms of prostate cancer depend on
the extent and spread of prostate cancer.

Signs and symptoms for prostate cancer may include:

Frequent urination: You experience the need to urinate very frequently. This feeling is intensified
specifically at night. You may wake up many times to visit the toilet.

Incontinence: Urinary incontinence is your inability to control the urge to urinate. Often, this
causes accidents, as you are unable to reach the bathroom in time to urinate.

Difficulty starting urination: Growth of the prostate gland often causes difficulties in starting
urination. This growth stresses on the urethra and constricts it. This is the cause for difficulty in
starting urination. Further, it also causes difficulty in maintaining the urine stream. Sometimes, you
pass blood in your urine.

Discomfort during urination: You may feel uncomfortable or encounter pain or a burning sensation
during urination. This condition is dysuria. Although this is not a very common symptom of prostate
cancer, it is present in a few cases. However, this is predominant in benign prostatic hyperplasia.
You would often feel you are unable to empty the bladder completely.

Painful erections and ejaculations: Growth or enlargement of the prostate gland affects blood
flow into the penis. You may have trouble having erections or they may be less rigid. Constriction
of the urethra narrows down the ejaculation channel. Therefore, passage of semen during
ejaculation is narrowed and forced. This is the reason for pain during ejaculation.

Impotence: Impotence is the inability to have a satisfactory erection for penetration during
intercourse. Sudden occurrence of impotence may be a symptom of the presence of prostate
cancer.

There could also be less semen during ejaculation as prostatic disease affects the flow of
ejaculatory fluid produced by the prostate gland and seminal vesicles.

Blood in the semen: This condition is Hematospermia. The blood in the semen would not be visible
to the naked eye.

Urinary Infections: Constriction of urethra by prostate gland could cause formation of cystitis. This
leads to urinary infections.

Advanced prostate cancer may cause these specific symptoms:

Pain in the lower back and spinal regions: As prostate cancer spreads, it can cause cancerous
growth of cells in other body parts. This growth could extend to the bones of the pelvic and spinal
region. This gives rise to severe pain in these regions.

Numbness and pain in legs and thighs: Prostate cancer causes severe pain and a numb feeling in
the thighs and legs. You may suddenly not be able to move your legs. It could also cause swelling
of the legs.

Sudden inability to pass urine: This symptom appears from nowhere. You are unable to pass
urine. However, you do not experience any pain.

Bone fractures: Prostate cancer advances into the bone tissue and makes them weak and
vulnerable to frequent fractures. Bone pain remains intense.

"You have prostate cancer and here is the prognosis...."

Imagine hearing such dreaded words and feel frightened and panic stricken!

It has been estimated in US alone, there will be more that 186,000+ new prostate cancer cases
and almost 29,000 deaths from prostate cancer.

Many people assume that prostate cancer only attacks the elderly and figure they'll just wait and
hope for the best. Bad decision. While the majority of cases do occur in men over 70, it has been
known to attack men as young as 50.

The disease also crosses ethnic lines and is the second most common malignant cancer in men.
African American men are at a higher risk than white men including Hispanic men.

According to the National Cancel Institute, "Dramatic differences in the incidence of prostate cancer
are also seen in different populations around the world." This is telling because there may be
dietary or other environmental factors involved.
