What are the late symptoms of prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a very lethal disease, which brings a lot of troubles to patients and their families. Many male patients do not know that they have prostate cancer until the late stage, thus missing the opportunity for diagnosis and treatment. The following is an introduction to the symptoms of late stage prostate cancer, hoping to attract everyone's attention.

1. Symptoms of metastasis: Metastasis is very common among patients with prostate cancer. About 1/3 or even 2/3 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. Hematogenous metastasis is more common in bones and internal organs.

2. Systemic symptoms: Systemic symptoms mainly include weight loss, fatigue, low fever, progressive anemia, cachexia or renal failure.

3. Pain: Pain in the waist, buttocks, sacrum, hips, pelvis, and sciatica is common and severe and unbearable. It may be caused by cancer metastasis to the bones or invasion of nerves or hydronephrosis and kidney infection. About 31% of patients experience pain.

4. Symptoms of obstruction: About 80% of patients will experience progressive dysuria, thinning or deviated urine flow, bifurcated urine flow, prolonged urination, frequent urination, urgency, pain, and a feeling of incomplete urination. In severe cases, urine dripping and urine retention may occur. Only 3% of patients have hematuria.

The above four points describe the late symptoms of prostate cancer. I hope everyone can fully understand the disease. Prostate cancer causes great harm to the human body, so it should not be underestimated. At the same time, male friends should actively take preventive measures in their daily life or work.
