Where does it hurt in the late stage of prostate cancer

Prostate cancer refers to an epithelial malignant tumor that occurs in the prostate. The incidence rate gradually increases after the age of 55, and the peak age is 70 to 80 years old. The early symptoms of prostate cancer are not obvious. Many patients only seek medical treatment when they have obvious symptoms. At this time, the disease is mostly in the late stage. Where will the pain be in the late stage of prostate cancer? What should I do?

Where does prostate cancer hurt in the late stage? When prostate cancer develops to the late stage, most cancer cells have metastasized. Patients may experience systemic symptoms such as weight loss, fatigue, low fever, progressive anemia, and pain in the waist, sacrum, buttocks, hips, pelvic and sciatica. They are severe and unbearable. Cachexia or renal failure may occur in the late stage. There are many complications in the late stage, which bring great pain to patients and pose a great threat to their lives and health. Therefore, once prostate cancer is discovered, it must be treated in time.

How to treat late-stage prostate cancer? When prostate cancer develops to the late stage, local treatment is difficult to control the disease. Although chemotherapy can kill cancer cells throughout the body, it has great side effects and single chemotherapy will produce drug resistance. Therefore, chemotherapy is generally combined with traditional Chinese medicine to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. In clinical practice, traditional Chinese medicine is also commonly used to treat advanced prostate cancer. For those who are weak, old, have a wide range of metastatic spread, and cannot withstand surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, mild traditional Chinese medicine treatment alone can also have a good effect.

In the treatment of prostate cancer, TCM emphasizes "people-oriented" in the treatment concept. Starting from the root, we grasp the etiology, pathology, pathogenesis, and symptoms of tumor patients, attack the local evil, and strengthen the overall treatment direction. Through "different treatments for the same disease, and the same treatment for different diseases", we can achieve targeted treatment and adjust the internal environment of the body, so as to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, prolong the survival period, reduce the pain of patients, and improve the quality of life. In clinical practice, many patients in the middle and late stages have recovered through the triple balance therapy of traditional Chinese medicine.
