Where does the pain usually occur in the late stage of prostate bone metastasis?

Prostate bone metastasis usually refers to prostate cancer bone metastasis. In the late stage of prostate cancer bone metastasis, low back pain, pelvic pain, leg pain, rib pain, and even whole body bone pain may occur.

Prostate cancer refers to a malignant tumor that appears in the epithelial tissue of the prostate. When it develops to the middle and late stages, it can invade and metastasize to other tissues and organs through direct implantation, blood circulation and other channels. Most prostate cancers will be accompanied by bone metastasis in the late stages, such as the spine, hip bones, ribs and shoulder blades. Bone pain can occur after cancer cells invade the bone and form tumors.

Because the specific parts of the bone pain are different, the pain points are also different. If it invades the spine, hip bones and other bones, it often manifests as low back pain, radiating pain in the lower limbs, and pelvic pain; if it invades the ribs and shoulder blades, it manifests as pain behind the sternum, back pain, shoulder and neck pain. Some bone pain may not be limited to a certain part, but may be migratory pain in different parts, or even systemic bone pain. In severe cases, it may cause paraplegia in patients.

Prostate cancer with bone metastasis requires medical treatment and imaging examination as soon as possible, and appropriate treatment options should be selected based on the severity of the disease and actual conditions. During the treatment period, personal care should be strengthened, such as maintaining an optimistic and cheerful attitude, receiving adequate care from family members, and a reasonable combination of three meals a day.
