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.
