Introduction to several more serious symptoms of prostate cancer

After suffering from prostate cancer, men will experience a series of serious symptoms. Most of the time, these symptoms of prostate cancer do not appear all at once, but may gradually appear as the disease progresses. Special attention should be paid. What are the more serious symptoms of prostate cancer ? Let's talk about the more serious symptoms of prostate cancer.

In general, more serious symptoms of prostate cancer include:

1. For advanced prostate cancer, symptoms of prostate cancer may include fatigue, weight loss, and body pain. The pain seriously affects the diet, sleep, and mental state. After long-term torture, the whole body becomes weaker and weaker, and anemia progresses. Eventually, the whole body fails and cachexia occurs.

2. If the prostate tumor progressively enlarges locally and compresses the prostate urethra, the symptoms of prostate cancer may include urination disorders, which are manifested as progressive dysuria (thinning of urine flow, deflection of urine flow, bifurcation of urine flow or prolonged urination), frequent urination, urgency, pain when urinating, and a feeling of incomplete urination. In severe cases, dribbling of urine and urinary retention may occur. These symptoms are similar to those of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which are easy to misdiagnose and miss, delaying the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

3. When prostate cancer metastasizes to the bone, the symptoms of prostate cancer can cause bone pain at the site of metastasis. Common sites of bone metastasis include the spine, hip bones, ribs, and shoulder blades. About 60% of advanced patients experience bone pain, which is common in the waist, sacrum, buttocks, hip pelvis. Bone pain has different manifestations. Some patients may experience persistent pain, while others experience intermittent pain. Bone pain can be confined to a specific part of the body, or it can manifest as migratory pain in different parts of the body; bone pain may vary at different times of the day and respond differently to rest and activity.

4. 1/2 to 2/3 of patients have lymph node metastasis when they first see a doctor. The symptoms of this type of prostate cancer often occur in the internal iliac, external iliac, retroperitoneal, groin, mediastinum, supraclavicular and other parts. If prostate cancer metastasizes to lymph nodes in adjacent areas, there are usually no symptoms. In a few cases, when lymph nodes are widely metastatic and the lymph nodes are significantly enlarged, compressing blood vessels and blocking lymph return in the lower limbs, symptoms of swelling of the lower limbs and scrotum will occur.

The above are the symptoms of more serious prostate cancer. I believe everyone should have a certain understanding of this. If you have symptoms of prostate cancer, you must go to the hospital immediately for active treatment to avoid delaying the disease and missing the best time for treatment.
