What are the symptoms of prostate cancer in the elderly

Prostate disease is more common among the elderly, and many elderly people are unwilling to go to the hospital for examination because they are afraid of bothering their children, which delays the disease and eventually leads to the occurrence of prostate cancer in the elderly. So, what are the symptoms of prostate cancer in the elderly?

What are the symptoms of prostate cancer in the elderly? Experts point out that the early symptoms of prostate cancer are:

1. Urinary dysfunction

Difficulty urinating, thinning or deflected urine stream, bifurcated urine stream, prolonged urination, frequent urination, urgency, pain, a feeling of incomplete urination, etc. In severe cases, urine dripping and urine retention may occur.

2. Pain

Pain in the lower back, sacrum, buttocks, hips, pelvis, and sciatica is common and severe and unbearable.

3. Metastatic symptoms

Metastasis is common in prostate cancer patients. About one-third or even two-thirds of patients have lymph node metastasis when they first see a doctor, mostly in the iliac, iliac, waist, groin and other parts. It can cause enlarged lymph nodes in the corresponding parts and swelling of the lower limbs.

4. Systemic symptoms

Because the pain affects diet, sleep and spirit, after long-term torture, the overall condition becomes increasingly weak, with weight loss and fatigue, progressive anemia, cachexia or renal failure.
