Symptoms of prostate cancer vary greatly from patient to patient. This is related to the type of tumor in the patient. However, in the early stages of the disease, there are generally no obvious symptoms. As the disease progresses, the tumor will compress the urethra, causing obstruction and abnormal urination. The following is an introduction to the symptoms of prostate cancer: What are the symptoms of prostate cancer? 1. Spinal metastasis: Advanced prostate cancer with spinal metastasis can invade the spinal cord and cause nerve compression, which can cause paralysis in severe cases. 2. Tumor rupture: Tumor rupture and bleeding may occur when prostate cancer metastasizes extensively. 3. Anemia: Generally, the number of blood cells in prostate cancer patients tends to decrease. When anemia is severe, the patient will experience weakness, orthostatic hypotension, dizziness, shortness of breath and fatigue. 4. Bone pain: About 60% of patients with advanced prostate cancer may experience bone pain, which is common in the waist, sacrum, buttocks, hip pelvis. Bone pain has different manifestations. Some patients may experience continuous pain, while others may experience intermittent pain. 5. Lymph node metastasis: Prostate cancer lymph node metastasis often occurs in the internal iliac, external iliac, retroperitoneum, groin, mediastinum, supraclavicular and other parts. When the lymph nodes are obviously enlarged, compressing the blood vessels and blocking the lymph return of the lower limbs, symptoms of swelling of the lower limbs and scrotum will appear. 6. Systemic symptoms: Due to long-term torture, patients with advanced progressive prostate cancer have increasingly weak overall condition and may also experience symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, emaciation, fatigue, body pain, etc., and eventually suffer from systemic failure and cachexia. 7. Tumor enlargement: After prostate cancer occurs, some parts of the tumor will gradually enlarge. Generally, it is progressive. Gradually compressing the prostate urethra, urination disorders may occur, manifested as progressive dysuria, frequent urination, urgency, pain, and a feeling of incomplete urination. In severe cases, urine dripping and urine retention may occur. All malignant tumors are typically in the middle and late stages, but the best treatment time has often been lost for malignant tumors in the middle and late stages. Therefore, timely detection of the disease is crucial. However, the early symptoms of malignant tumors are generally not obvious, and the same is true for prostate cancer. Regular physical examinations are recommended. |
