What are the symptoms of late-stage prostate cancer

Among men's diseases, prostate cancer is a relatively serious disease. Suffering from this disease will have a serious impact on men's health. Especially when prostate cancer enters the late stage, the harm it causes to men is very serious. So, what are the symptoms of prostate cancer in the late stage? Now let's take a look at the introduction of this article.

What are the symptoms of advanced prostate cancer?

1. Obstructive symptoms: 80% of patients experience progressive dysuria, thinning or deviated urine flow, bifurcated urine flow, prolonged urination, frequent urination, urgency, pain, and a feeling of incomplete urination, etc. caused by cancer. In severe cases, urine dripping and urine retention occur. Only 3% of patients have hematuria.

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.

3. Metastasis symptoms are relatively common in the late stage of prostate cancer: 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 vertebrae, upper femur, etc.) and internal organs (such as lungs, liver, brain, adrenal glands, testicles, etc.).

4. Symptoms of late-stage prostate cancer may also show systemic manifestations: systemic symptoms include weight loss, fatigue, low fever, progressive anemia, cachexia or renal failure.

The above introduces the symptoms of prostate cancer in the late stage. If a prostate cancer patient has the above symptoms, it may mean that the disease has entered the late stage. If it is not treated at this stage, the consequences will be disastrous, so patients should actively seek treatment.
