What are the early symptoms of prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a male disease that many friends are very concerned about. This disease will increase with age. It is generally common in the elderly and has a great impact on patients. Everyone should prevent this disease in daily life. Because as we age, our resistance will decrease and we are very susceptible to the disease. Let us learn about the symptoms of this disease together.

1. Obstruction symptoms: The symptoms of bladder neck obstruction in prostate cancer are almost the same as those in benign prostatic hyperplasia, manifested as slow urine flow, urgency, interrupted urine flow, incomplete urination, frequent urination, and in severe cases, it can cause dribbling urination and urine retention.

2. Metastatic symptoms: When the tumor invades the capsule and the nearby perineural lymphatic vessels, perineal pain and sciatica may occur. 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.

Prostate cancer is an acute disease in the early stages, but because its symptoms are not very obvious in the early stages, many people ignore treatment. By the time it is discovered, it has become a chronic disease. At this time, it is best to choose an authoritative hospital for treatment, which can reduce the treatment time.
