Don’t Miss These Early Symptoms Of Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is one of the most prominent forms of cancer among men. Although more likely among men over 65 years old, lately, cases are increasing in the younger generation as well, according to reports by Cytecare Cancer Hospital. This is a disease that occurs in the prostate gland in men. The gland helps release fluids that help in sperm food. Delay in diagnosis and treatment can be fatal, health experts warn.
Symptoms of prostate cancer are often ignored or ignored which leads to the cancer stages that are advanced and cannot be treated. Here, we discuss some of the early symptoms of benign diseases that you should pay attention to.
According to the American Cancer Cancer Center (CTCA), some symptoms related to the urinary system can be experienced by patients because the glands are located close to the bladder and urethra. Some of them can include problems or difficulties in urinating, burning sensation or pain during urination, frequent urination at night or loss of bladder control.
Apart from this, you can also watch blood in your urine or semen. Erectile dysfunction or painful ejaculation is also some of the initial symptoms of prostate cancer. Ignoring these early signs can also cause cancer to spread to other parts of the body including your bone and lymph nodes and can cause severe complications. This is called advanced prostate cancer or metastasis.
According to CTCA, the symptoms of advanced prostate cancer include swelling in the legs or pelvic area, numbness or pain in the hips, legs or legs and bone pain. Because life-threatening conditions are more common even among younger men now, it is recommended that they understand their risk factors and conduct routine checks if they experience the signs mentioned above. Early diagnosis will reduce the possibility of cancer that spreads to other parts of the body and turn fatal.
