What are the main symptoms of prostate cancer?

What are the main symptoms of prostate cancer? I believe many people have this question. Prostate cancer is a relatively serious disease in the late stage, which usually endangers the patient's life. In our daily life, prostate cancer is a relatively serious disease. Let us learn about the symptoms of prostate cancer .

1. Urinary disorders: 80% of patients 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 cancer. In severe cases, urine dripping and urine retention occur. Only 3% of patients have hematuria. This is one of the symptoms of prostate cancer.

2. Pain: Pain in the waist, sacrum, buttocks, hips, pelvis, and sciatica is common and severe and unbearable. It may be caused by cancer metastasis to the bones or invasion of nerves or hydronephrosis and kidney infection. About 31% of patients experience pain. Understanding this symptom is very helpful for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer.

3. Metastasis symptoms: Metastasis is very common in prostate cancer patients. About 1/3 or even 2/3 of patients have lymph node metastasis when they first see a doctor, mostly in the iliac, iliac, waist, groin and other parts. It can cause lymph node enlargement and lower limb swelling in the corresponding parts. Hematogenous metastasis is more common in bones (such as pelvis, sacrum, lumbar spine, upper femur, etc.) and internal organs (such as lungs, liver, brain, adrenal glands, testicles, etc.). This is also a symptom of prostate cancer.

4. Systemic symptoms: Because the pain affects diet, sleep and spirit, after long-term torture, the whole body condition becomes increasingly weak, with weight loss and fatigue, progressive anemia, cachexia or renal failure.
