When cancer is detected early there are bright chances of survival, it is obvious that it holds true for prostate cancer. Early detection has resulted in complete cure. But like any other cancer type the prostate cancer do not show any visible signs at an early stage. The signs are identified when the cancer has progressed and is putting pressure on the urethra.
Early Signs of prostate cancer are:
consistent dull pain in lower pelvic area
pain while urinating
urgency to urinate
irregular urine flow
strong urine sensation but difficulty starting urination
pain during urination, burning sensation but does not hurt
urge to urinate frequently but still have a full feeling
blood in urine or semen
erectile dysfunction
painful ejaculation or inability to ejaculate
dull achy pain in your lower back, hips or upper thighs
swelling in legs due to the disease spread in lymph nodes and unhealty lymph nodes get accumulated in the legs
loss of appetite and weight
Moreover if a close family member is detected with prostate cancer you are automatically put to its risk. All the above mentioned symptoms can be due to other conditions but a proper discussion with the doctor about the symptoms can help you to fully rule out what exactly causing the problem.
