What are the specific symptoms of prostate cancer? The occurrence of prostate cancer will cause great harm to the physical health of male friends and will also put the patient under a lot of psychological pressure. Therefore, it is important to learn more about this disease, know the symptoms of the disease, detect the disease in time, treat the disease, and avoid harm. So, what are the specific symptoms of prostate cancer?

(1) Obstructive symptoms: The symptoms of prostate cancer are almost the same as those of benign prostatic hyperplasia, manifested as slow urine flow, urgency, interrupted urine flow, incomplete urination, frequent urination, and in severe cases, dribbling urine and urine retention. There are two clinically significant points in the obstruction process: ① The course of the disease continues to progress, which is different from the slow progression of the disease in prostatic hyperplasia. ② Hematuria is not common. It is worth noting that the first symptom of prostate cancer is usually not urethral obstruction, but more common symptoms of local spread and bone metastasis. Only in the late stage does the cancer invade the glands around the urethra and cause obstructive symptoms, which are early symptoms of heart disease.

(2) Metastatic symptoms: When the tumor invades the capsule and the nearby perineural lymphatic vessels, symptoms of prostate cancer may include perineal pain and sciatica. Bone pain is a common symptom of stage D, which manifests as persistent pain in the lumbosacral region and pelvis, which is more severe when lying in bed; when the rectum is involved, it may manifest as difficulty in defecation or colon obstruction; when prostate cancer invades the membranous urethra, urinary incontinence may occur; other metastatic symptoms include lower limb edema, lymphadenopathy, subcutaneous metastatic nodules, pathological fractures, etc.

(3) Systemic symptoms: Systemic symptoms include weight loss, fatigue, low fever, progressive anemia, cachexia or renal failure.

The above are the symptoms of prostate cancer. I hope male friends can pay more attention to it. If there is a problem with your prostate, such as inflammation, infection, etc., you should check it in time to see if cancer has occurred. You should know that after suffering from cancer, only timely treatment can give you hope of getting rid of the disease.
