What are the early symptoms of prostate cancer?

Cancer is a constant threat to people's health and life. In particular, the incidence of cancer has increased significantly in recent years, and it is getting younger and younger. Now everyone is worried that they will get cancer if they are not careful. Prostate cancer is a common disease that causes death in men. Malignant tumors in the male prostate must be discovered in time. So, what are the early symptoms of prostate cancer?

Since the prostate gland and urethra are close to each other, patients will experience urethral symptoms regardless of the type of prostate disease they suffer from. Patients will experience bifurcated urine, frequent urination, and urgency. Moreover, as the number of prostate malignancies increases, the pressure on the urethra becomes more and more obvious, and may even cause urination disorders and pain during urination. Some severe patients may even develop urinary retention.

In addition to urinary tract symptoms, all prostate cancer patients will experience prostate pain. Prostate cancer can cause patients to experience radiating pain in the prostate and around the prostate. The pain sites of prostate cancer patients include the waist, buttocks, and sacrum, and the severe pain is often unbearable for patients. Long-term pain can cause patients to gradually lose weight and even cause renal failure.

Urinary tract symptoms, pain, rapid weight loss and other symptoms are early symptoms of prostate cancer, and men need to pay attention to them. Especially some men who already have prostate diseases should be more aware of the signs of prostate cancer. If prostate cancer develops to the late stage, it may even metastasize. Most patients will have lymph node metastasis, so they will have symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes and swollen limbs.

The difficulty of early treatment of prostate cancer is relatively small. Timely removal of the tumor can greatly protect the patient's life and health. However, if it is not discovered until the middle or even late stage, the difficulty of treatment will increase. If the cancer cells spread to multiple parts of the body, the patient's life can only be delayed through treatment.
