Can prostate cancer cause blood in semen? Prostate cancer can cause four symptoms

Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor in the male urinary and reproductive system. It is usually more common in some middle-aged and elderly men. The incidence rate will become higher and higher with age, and the incidence rate of prostate cancer has been in a rapid increase in recent years. Therefore, many big cities now call prostate cancer a health killer for middle-aged and elderly men. Many men with prostate cancer will have hematospermia. Will this situation happen specifically? The following is an answer to this question.

Will prostate cancer cause hematospermia? The answer is yes. Most prostate cancers occur in the peripheral zone. There are no symptoms in the early stages, but as the disease progresses, some compression symptoms will appear, such as compression of the urethra, rectum, etc., as well as frequent urination and urgency. If these symptoms are not controlled in time, they may invade the seminal vesicles, which will cause hematospermia. In fact, in addition to these, the prostate can also cause some other symptoms.

1. Difficulty urinating

Patients with prostate cancer will experience dysuria. After contracting the disease, patients will experience hematuria, urinary incontinence, urinary retention, etc. These symptoms are caused by the prostate tumor compressing the urethra. If the urethra is not controlled in time, it will only become narrower and narrower, and urination will gradually become difficult, and even the inability to urinate may occur.

2. Pain

Pain is also a common symptom of prostate cancer. This pain mainly occurs in the lumbar spine, pelvis, groin and other positions. When pain occurs, it must be taken seriously because this may be a sign of prostate cancer metastasis.

3. Renal failure

Patients with prostate cancer may experience difficulty urinating. If this condition persists for a long time, it will lead to bilateral hydronephrosis, which will gradually damage kidney function and lead to renal failure in severe cases.

4. Sexual dysfunction

When prostate cancer develops to a more serious stage, sexual dysfunction will occur, because the prostate will directly affect the activity and quality of sperm. When sperm is affected, men will experience decreased sexual function and decreased desire.

From the above content, we can know that prostate cancer can cause hematospermia, and there will be some other symptoms. Therefore, when you suffer from prostate cancer, you should go to the local hospital for a systematic examination in time. After the examination, the doctor will develop a targeted treatment plan based on the results of the examination, which can make the treatment more effective. During the treatment, you should also pay attention to drinking more water, because drinking more water is conducive to urination and can clean the urethra.
