What are the specific symptoms of advanced prostate cancer?

When men suffer from prostate cancer in the late stage, they will have obvious symptoms. If they cannot be treated at this time, it will threaten the patient's life safety or induce more complications. Therefore, for prostate cancer, it is important for patients to pay more attention to understand the relevant symptoms after they are ill.

Symptoms of advanced prostate cancer:

The main symptoms of patients are urinary tract obstruction, accompanied by hematuria or urinary retention. The most prominent symptom is strong pain.

(1) Urinary disorders:

Clinically, more than 80% of patients have progressive dysuria caused by cancer lesions. The patient's urine flow tends to become thinner or skewed. In addition, many patients also have symptoms such as bifurcated urine flow, prolonged urination, frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, or incomplete urination. In severe cases, there are complications such as dribbling urine or urine retention. Patients with hematuria are relatively rare, accounting for only about 3%.

(2) Pain:

The patient has pain in many parts of the body, especially in the waist, sacrum, buttocks, and hips. In addition, pelvic and sciatica are the most common pain sites. Once they occur, the patient will experience severe and unbearable pain. The occurrence of these pains is more or less due to the metastasis of cancer cells to the bones or invasion of certain nerves, inducing kidney infection. About 30% of patients will have pain symptoms.

(3) Metastasis symptoms:

When prostate cancer develops to the late stage, patients are very likely to develop metastatic symptoms. About 30% to 60% of patients have already developed lymph node metastasis when they go to the hospital for treatment. These metastases are mainly concentrated in the iliac, iliac, waist and other parts. Correspondingly, it will induce lymph node enlargement and lower limb swelling. Blood metastasis and visceral metastasis are rare.

Therefore, once you find physical abnormalities in your life, you should pay more attention to diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible in order to better control and deal with the disease.
