Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
While prostate cancer can sometimes be asymptomatic in its early stages, there are several signs that may indicate the presence of the disease:
- Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS): Difficulty initiating or stopping urination, frequent urination, weak urine flow, or a sense of incomplete bladder emptying.
- Blood in the urine or semen: This is a concerning symptom that should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
- Urinary Incontinence: Loss of bladder control, such as leaking urine.
- Pain or Discomfort: Pain in the lower back, hips, or thighs can be a sign of advanced prostate cancer that has spread to the bones.
- Erectile Dysfunction: Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection.
- Advanced Symptoms: In more advanced stages, symptoms might include weight loss, fatigue, bone pain (if cancer has spread to the bones), and swelling in the legs.
It's important to note that these symptoms can also be caused by other conditions, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). If you experience any of these symptoms, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
