What are the early symptoms of prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer is a common disease in men's lives. Many middle-aged and elderly men do not show obvious symptoms in the early stages of the disease, which makes it easy for patients to miss the best time for treatment. In the face of such a malignant tumor, it is very necessary for us to learn more about the current knowledge of prostate cancer. So, what are the specific symptoms of early prostate cancer? Let's take a look.

Prostate cancer patients experience symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, and body pain. The pain seriously affects their diet, sleep, and mental state. After long-term torture, their overall condition becomes increasingly weak, they become emaciated and weak, and they become anemic, eventually leading to systemic failure and cachexia.

When prostate cancer invades the bladder base or pelvic lymph nodes are widely metastatic, unilateral or bilateral ureteral obstruction may occur, which drains urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Symptoms and signs of ureteral obstruction include oliguria, anuria in the case of bilateral ureteral obstruction, back pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever in the case of concurrent infection.

What are the early symptoms of prostate cancer? Prostate cancer patients may experience urination disorders, which are manifested as progressive dysuria, frequent urination, urgency, pain, and a sense of incomplete urination. In severe cases, urine dripping and urine retention may occur. These symptoms are similar to those of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BpH), which are easy to misdiagnose and miss, delaying the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Anemia may occur in patients with prostate cancer. The cause of anemia may be related to bone metastasis of the tumor, endocrine therapy, or the duration of the disease. Because the number of blood cells generally decreases slowly, patients may not have any symptoms of anemia. Some patients with severe anemia may experience weakness, postural hypotension, dizziness, shortness of breath, and fatigue.

Through the above description, we know the relevant symptoms of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer patients should not rush to treat the disease during the illness. It is best to go to a regular hospital for treatment and choose the appropriate treatment method according to the specific condition. Prostate cancer patients should pay attention to the care of the affected area in their daily life, and it is best to quit smoking and drinking.
