Symptoms
There are often no symptoms associated with early-stage prostate cancer. However, most cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed before symptoms develop through screening. The American Cancer Society lists the following symptoms associated with later-staged prostate cancer:(1)
-
Inability to urinate
-
Discontinuous or weak urine flow
-
Difficulty in starting or stopping urine flow
-
Frequent urination, especially at night
-
Blood in urine
-
Pain or burning with urination
-
Continuous back, pelvis, or upper thigh pain
A physician should be consulted if they persist. It is important to note, however, that these symptoms may be caused by factors unrelated to prostate cancer.
