Does prostate cancer cause persistent pain?

Urinary dysfunction is one of the most common symptoms of prostate cancer. About 80% of patients will experience progressive urination difficulties, thinning or deviated urine flow, bifurcated urine flow, prolonged urination, frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and a feeling of incomplete urination due to the cancer. In severe cases, urine dripping and urine retention may occur. Only 3% of patients have hematuria. So does prostate cancer cause continuous pain? Nearly one-third of patients with advanced prostate cancer will experience pain symptoms.

1. Affecting sexual function, leading to impotence and premature ejaculation: As the disease has not been cured for a long time, various symptoms and discomforts worsen after sexual intercourse, or directly affect the feelings and quality of sexual intercourse, causing a malignant stimulation to the patient, and gradually developing a sense of disgust, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation and other phenomena.
2. Discomfort symptoms that affect work and life: Due to inflammatory stimulation, a series of symptoms may occur, such as swelling and pain in the lumbar sacral area, perineum, testicles, etc., frequent urination, painful urination, incomplete urination, etc., which make patients irritable and affect work and life.
3. Affects fertility and may cause infertility: Long-term chronic inflammation causes changes in the composition of prostatic fluid and affects the secretory function of the prostate, which in turn affects the liquefaction time of semen and reduces sperm motility, leading to male infertility.
4. Susceptibility to tumors: The latest research shows that normal prostate fluid contains an anti-cancer substance, which is of great significance in inhibiting tumors. However, when the prostate is diseased, this anti-malignant lesion substance decreases, making it easy to cause tumors.
