Symptoms of prostate cancer in men

There are no symptoms in the early stages of prostate cancer. Even if there are discomforts, they are not enough to attract the attention of prostate cancer patients, which makes early diagnosis difficult. Once obvious symptoms of prostate cancer appear clinically, it is usually in the late stage of the disease and the prognosis is poor. It can be seen that it is very important to detect the symptoms of prostate cancer in the early stage. Especially for male friends with prostatitis and repeated attacks, they should pay close attention to the changes in the condition of prostate cancer to prevent cancer. So, what are the symptoms of prostate cancer?

1. The appearance and severity of prostate cancer symptoms depend on the growth rate of the tumor and the degree of compression of the urethra. The prostate surrounds the urethra, so the cancer will compress the urethra only after it has grown to a certain extent, showing abnormal urination. Only a few people will have frequent urination and increased nocturia, which will cause the urine flow to become thinner, urination to be difficult, and the urination process to be prolonged. A small number of patients may experience pain when urinating. Some may also have hematuria, which should cause vigilance. When the tumor gradually grows, the urethra is compressed more severely, making urination difficult, causing urine to be retained in the bladder, and the bladder is filled and swollen, resulting in severe swelling, which is extremely painful. In addition, when prostate cancer metastasizes, especially when it metastasizes through bones, pain in the waist and back may occur, and the pain can often radiate to the perineum and around the anus, and even paraplegia may occur.

2. Symptoms of prostate cancer include persistent dull pain, which often affects the patient's appetite and daily rhythm of life, causing the patient to become increasingly emaciated and in great pain. Secondly, because the bones are eaten away little by little by tumor cells, the bones being transported are prone to pathological fractures. If the tumor cells invade the vertebral bodies of the patient's spine, then the collapse of the vertebral bodies will lead to symptoms of spinal cord compression, which will make treatment more difficult.

3. Most patients with prostate cancer bone metastasis are diagnosed by visiting the orthopedic department of a hospital because of pain in a certain part of the body. In terms of diet, prostate cancer patients should take low-calorie, low-fat, high-vitamin foods as the main dietary guidelines. They can also take Chinese medicine that has the effect of tonifying the spleen and kidney to enhance the immune function.

In general, diseases vary from person to person. As long as they are discovered in the early stages and effective and reasonable treatment plans are adopted, cancer can be effectively controlled. Prostate cancer patients should treat the disease with a good attitude and receive standardized treatment as soon as possible.
