What are the symptoms of prostate cancer

What are the symptoms of prostate cancer? There are many people in life who, due to lack of understanding of the symptoms of the disease, have missed the best time for treatment, causing the disease to develop seriously and leaving them with regret. Prostate cancer is a relatively common male malignant tumor, and the harm it does to patients is immeasurable. Let us now learn about the symptoms of prostate cancer so that we can detect and treat it early.

1. Urinary disorders: Patients with prostate cancer may have urinary disorders. Compared with the past, the urine flow becomes crooked and thin, and may even be bifurcated. If the urination time is long, there is pain when urinating, and there is a feeling of incomplete urination, severe prostate cancer patients may have urine retention.

2. Compression symptoms: The gradually enlarged prostate gland compresses the urethra and can cause progressive dysuria, which is manifested as thin urine stream, short range, slow urine flow, interrupted urine flow, dripping after urination, incomplete urination, and labored urination. In addition, there are frequent urination, urgency, increased nocturia, and even urinary incontinence. Tumor compression of the rectum can cause dysuria or intestinal obstruction, and can also compress the vas deferens to cause lack of ejaculation, and compress the nerves to cause perineal pain, which can radiate to the sciatic nerve.

3. Metastasis symptoms: About 2/3 of prostate cancer patients are found to have lymph node metastasis during their first visit for examination. The metastasis often occurs in the patient's groin, waist, and internal and external iliac regions, thus causing corresponding lymph node enlargement or lower limb edema.

4. Systemic symptoms: Physical pain will also affect the patient's sleep and diet, and the patient's spirit will also be tortured. Due to poor diet and poor sleep quality, the patient's physical condition will become weaker and weaker, and he will begin to lose weight, become anemic, and may even suffer from renal failure.

5. Local symptoms: There are many local symptoms, which usually cause many adverse injuries. Prevention is very important. After men suffer from prostate cancer, they often have the main symptoms of perineum or pubic abnormalities, which usually manifest as a heavy pressure in the perineum and suprapubic area of ​​the patient, and are aggravated when the prostate cancer patient sits for a long time or defecates.

It can be seen that the early symptoms of prostate cancer patients are atypical, and prostate cancer cannot be discovered through early clinical manifestations. When prostate cancer shows certain clinical symptoms, it is often in the late stage. Since the key to improving the treatment effect of prostate cancer is early diagnosis and early treatment, it is very important to do a good job in prostate cancer census and screening.
