Pay attention to some common symptoms of prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the disease that men are most likely to suffer from. In order to detect the disease as early as possible, it is necessary to pay attention to the symptoms of prostate cancer . What are the most common symptoms of prostate cancer? Let's take a look at the symptoms of prostate cancer.

(1) Obstructive symptoms: The symptoms of prostate cancer are almost the same as those of benign prostatic hyperplasia, manifested as slow urine flow, urgency, interrupted urine flow, incomplete urination, frequent urination, and in severe cases, it can cause dribbling urination and urine retention. There are two points in the obstruction process that are clinically significant: ① The course of the disease continues to progress, which is different from the slow progression of the disease in prostatic hyperplasia. ② Hematuria is not common. It is worth noting that the first symptom of prostate cancer is usually not urethral obstruction, but more common symptoms of local spread and bone metastasis. Only in the late stage does the cancer invade the glands around the urethra and cause obstructive symptoms, which are early symptoms of heart disease.

(2) Metastatic symptoms: When the tumor invades the capsule and the nearby perineural lymphatic vessels, symptoms of prostate cancer may include perineal pain and sciatica. Bone pain is a common symptom of stage D, which manifests as persistent pain in the lumbosacral region and pelvis, which is more severe when lying in bed; when the rectum is involved, it may manifest as difficulty in defecation or colon obstruction; when prostate cancer invades the membranous urethra, urinary incontinence may occur; other metastatic symptoms include lower limb edema, lymphadenopathy, subcutaneous metastatic nodules, pathological fractures, etc.

(3) Systemic symptoms: Systemic symptoms include weight loss, fatigue, low fever, progressive anemia, cachexia or renal failure.
