Symptoms of prostate cancer at different stages

Prostate cancer is now a common disease among men, posing a great threat to the life and health of many men. The symptoms of prostate cancer are different at different stages, especially in the early stages, which are more easily confused with common prostate diseases, and it is easy for patients to miss the best treatment period. Therefore, if a prostate disease occurs, regular examinations are the most important.

The early symptoms of prostate cancer are not obvious. Patients will experience symptoms similar to prostate diseases, such as urgency and pain when urinating. Prostate cancer can also cause compression symptoms, and patients may have difficulty urinating. Some patients may also have difficulty defecation or intestinal obstruction because the tumor will compress the rectum. These early symptoms of prostatitis are not particularly serious and it is easy for people to relax their vigilance.

When prostate cancer reaches the middle stage, the symptoms will be more obvious. Patients with mid-stage prostate cancer sometimes have hematuria and often have severe pain in the abdomen. The blood picture of the whole body changes, and the number of white blood cells will be significantly reduced. Cancer is easier to detect. At this time, it is more difficult to control the disease, but if it can be treated in time, it is still possible to prolong life and improve the quality of life.

When prostate cancer reaches the late stage, the cancer cells are likely to metastasize and may cause lesions in other tissues and organs. Prostate cancer is prone to bone metastasis, which may cause pathological fractures or bone pain. In the late stage of prostate cancer, patients will also experience edema in both lower limbs, making it very inconvenient to move. The treatment of late-stage cancer is generally based on radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can also be used.

I believe that through the above introduction, everyone will have some understanding of the symptoms of prostate cancer at different stages. The early stage of prostate cancer is the most precious time for treatment. The treatment effect at this time is the best and can effectively prolong life. In the middle and late stages, the treatment is more difficult and chemotherapy is likely to be used, and the patient has to endure a certain amount of pain.
