In the early stages of prostate cancer does not usually occur many symptoms.
The most common symptoms are:
- Frequent urination, and especially at night.
- Difficulty starting or stopping urination.
- Inability to urinate.
- Interrupted or weak flow of urine.
- Painful urination or burning sensation.
- Difficulty getting an erection.
- Painful ejaculation.
- Blood in urine or semen.
- Frequent pain or tightness in the lower abdomen, hips or upper thighs.
Any of these symptoms may occur when there is cancer but also other less serious problem. It is actually far more common than any of this trouble is related to benign prostatic hypertrophy with cancer, so no need to panic if you have, but you should check with your doctor.
Prostate cancer grows very slowly, this does not change much the survival rate if detected early and treatment is placed or if you do something later, if the tumor has not spread beyond the gland.
