Early prostate cancer often does not cause symptoms. But prostate cancer can cause any of these problems:
- A need to urinate frequently, especially at night
- Difficulty starting urination or holding back urine
- Inability to urinate
- Weak or interrupted flow of urine
- Painful or burning urination
- Difficulty in having an erection
- Painful ejaculation
- Blood in urine or semen
- Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper things.
Any man who has symptoms like these should see his doctor or a urologist. The symptoms could be cancer or it could be caused by a less serious health problem.
