What symptoms does prostate cancer cause

Prostate cancer occurs in the patient's prostate gland. Due to the deep location of the prostate gland, the early symptoms of prostate cancer are not very obvious, and the occurrence of symptoms is often ignored. This can cause great harm to the patient's body and can even be life-threatening in severe cases. Therefore, knowing more about the symptoms of prostate cancer is of great help in early treatment.

What symptoms does prostate cancer cause?

The patient's urethra is the most vulnerable to health problems. Generally speaking, the appearance and severity of prostate cancer symptoms depend on the growth rate of the tumor and the degree of compression of the urethra. Because the prostate encircles the urethra, the cancer will compress the urethra only after it grows to a certain extent, showing symptoms of abnormal urination. Only a few people experience frequent urination and increased nocturia.

When the tumor further increases and compresses the urethra, the urine flow will become thinner, urination will be difficult, and the urination process will be prolonged. A small number of patients may experience pain when urinating. Some may also have hematuria, which should be a cause of concern. As the tumor gradually increases, the urethra is more severely compressed, making urination difficult, causing urine to be retained in the bladder, and the bladder becomes full and swollen, even highly expanded, which is extremely uncomfortable.

Pain is also a symptom that patients often experience, and the scope of the invasion is very wide, and pain may occur in any part of the bones. When prostate cancer metastasizes, especially to the bones, pain in the waist and back may occur, and the pain can often radiate to the perineum and around the anus, and even paraplegia may occur.

The above are the symptoms of prostate cancer. I believe everyone has already understood them. When the above symptoms appear in the body, you should go to the hospital in time for treatment. In order to get symptomatic treatment for the disease, you must go to a regular cancer hospital for treatment.
