Analysis of the main symptoms of prostate cancer

The symptoms of prostate cancer are not obvious in the early stage. Even for a long time after the onset of prostate cancer, the patient may not feel obvious symptoms of prostate cancer. This requires more physical examinations to detect and start treatment in time. The symptoms of prostate cancer mainly have the following characteristics.

1. Obstructive symptoms Symptoms of prostate cancer may include difficulty urinating, urinary retention, pain, hematuria or urinary incontinence.

2. Local infiltrative symptoms The bladder-rectum space is often affected first. This space includes the prostate, seminal vesicle, vas deferens, lower end of ureter and other organ structures. If the tumor invades and compresses the vas deferens, it will cause low back pain and testicular pain. Some patients also complain of pain during ejaculation.

3. Other symptoms of metastasis Prostate cancer is prone to bone metastasis. There may be no obvious symptoms of prostate cancer at the beginning. Prostate cancer may also be discovered only when seeking medical treatment due to nerve compression or pathological fracture caused by bone metastasis.

The symptoms of prostate cancer are similar to those of kidney disease to a certain extent and are easy to confuse. Conversely, some symptoms of kidney disease are often considered to be symptoms of prostate cancer, which puts patients under great psychological pressure and is extremely unfavorable to treatment. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for professional diagnosis and make a detailed analysis of the symptoms of prostate cancer.
