Knowledge about prostate cancer

How much do you know about prostate cancer? In fact, when we understand prostate cancer, we can take into account the changes in the patient's condition. Furthermore, when we consider the treatment of prostate cancer, we also need to have a certain psychological communication with the patient so that the patient can actively accept treatment.

In the early stages of prostate cancer, most prostate cancer patients have no obvious symptoms due to the localization of the tumor. It is often discovered accidentally during a physical examination or in surgical specimens of benign prostatic hyperplasia. As the tumor continues to develop, prostate cancer will have a variety of different symptoms, mainly in three aspects:

1. Obstructive symptoms may include dysuria, urinary retention, pain, hematuria or urinary incontinence.

2. Local invasive symptoms The bladder-rectal space is often affected first. This space includes organ structures such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, and the lower end of the ureter. If the tumor invades and compresses the vas deferens, it will cause low back pain and testicular pain in the patient. Some patients also complain of pain during ejaculation.

3. Other symptoms of metastasis Prostate cancer is prone to bone metastasis. There may be no symptoms at the beginning. Sometimes prostate cancer is not discovered until medical treatment due to nerve compression or pathological fracture caused by bone metastasis.

Sometimes, due to the particularity of the onset site, the best time for disease treatment will be delayed. This requires us to grasp the time for disease treatment. If we cannot grasp it effectively, it will actually be of no benefit to prostate cancer patients or their families. We still need to deal with prostate cancer in a timely manner.
