Prostate cancer very often doesn’t have any symptoms, and most of the symptoms can also be indicators for non-cancerous conditions or infections. For instance, an enlarged prostate is common in older men and can have the exact same symptoms as prostate cancer, but it is not dangerous.
The prostate is found only in men, and is a small gland, typically three centimeters long which is between the bladder and the rectum inside a man’s pelvic area. The prostate surrounds part of the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder) and it makes and stores a component of semen. Any abnormal growth inside the prostate can affect the urinary tract and the ability to urinate because the gland is close to the bladder and the urethra.
One of the primary risk factors for prostate cancer is age and it is rare for a man under the age of forty to get this disease. Men over the age of forty should have regular check-ups including a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test. Although it is normal for all men to have a low level of PSA in their bodies because it is produced by the prostate gland, a higher level might indicate prostate cancer, or a related condition or an infection.
In later stages of prostate cancer, the cancer may spread to other parts of the body such as the bones or the lymph nodes. It is usually during the middle to late stages of cancer that signs of the disease can be felt by a man. Symptoms of prostate cancer usually involve changes to the ability to urinate. One of these changes is called hesitancy, which is difficulty in starting the urine stream. Other symptoms are a weaker than normal urine stream, or an inability to urinate, or having to urinate more frequently than usual. In some cases men feel that the bladder is still full even after they have urinated.
There are specific medical names and explanation for some symptoms of prostate cancer. Nocturia: having to get up more frequently than usual at night to urinate. Dysuria: having pain or a burning feeling during urination. Hematuria: finding blood in the stream of the urine.
Sometimes, prostate cancer can affect the a man’s sexual interest or his ability to perform. One of the symptoms of prostate cancer is erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to get or to maintain an erection. Painful ejaculation is also a symptom of prostate cancer. Hematospermia (blood in the semen after ejaculation) could also be an indicator of prostate cancer. However, if a man is experiencing these symptoms, it does not necessarily mean that the man has prostate cancer. Other infections or conditions can present the same symptoms and are not actually cancer. For example, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is very common in older men. The prostate gland naturally grows larger with age and when it becomes very large, it can press against the urethra and cause bladder and urination problems. There is an infection which can occur in the prostate called prostatitis, and this infection causes some of the same symptoms that prostate cancer does, but can be treated by antibiotics and cured quickly. Also, urinary tract infections can present the same symptoms, but are not serious and can also be treated with antibiotics.
Symptoms of prostate cancer can be different if the cancer is in a later stage and has spread, or metastasized, to other parts of the body like the bones or the lymph nodes. One of the symptoms of late stage prostate cancer can be pain in the lower abdomen, groin, back or hips that continues for a long period of time. Also, if there is an unusual swelling of the legs and feet, it can be a sign of prostate cancer, as can an unexpected and unexplained weight loss.
If any of these symptoms are being experienced by a man, he should go to his doctor for a check-up and tests to determine the cause of the symptoms.
