In the early stages in most cases, symptoms of prostate cancer are normally not easy to detect.Yet early detection is important for effective cure and treatment.
Urinary problems are usually the earliest signs. These could however be misleading as the symptoms for both benign ( non-cancerous) and malignant ( cancerous) tumors are the same.
It is important to be tested to be sure that there is the presence of cancer and to know how advanced it is.
Symptoms of prostate cancer include:
-- need to pass urine frequently especially at night
-- leaking of urine and difficulty in starting urination
-- urination with a burning or painful sensation
-- weakened flow of urine
-- blood in the urine
-- impotence
-- painful ejaculation
-- discomfort in the pelvis and swelling in the legs
-- lower back pain with stiffness
-- weight loss
The doctor will give an accurate diagnosis of the patient's exact condition after appropriate and thorough testing.
Symptoms of prostate cancer need early detection to allow for checking the spread of the disease and what treatment is needed. Why not get tested today.
