Prostate Cancer Awareness Month: Symptoms to Watch
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men in the United States (after skin cancer). It's mostly found in older men. It’s often found before it has spread to other parts of the body; cancer that hasn’t spread tends to be easier to treat and cure.
In its early stages, prostate cancer doesn’t usually cause any symptoms. Early prostate cancer may be found through a screening test. As with any cancer, the earlier it’s diagnosed and treated, the better your outcomes.
As prostate cancer grows and progresses, some people have symptoms. Others don’t. Some symptoms may be a sign that the cancer has spread outside the prostate. If that happens, you may need more extensive treatment.
Possible symptoms include:
- A frequent need to urinate, especially at night
- Trouble starting to urinate or straining
- Weak or interrupted urine flow
- Trouble fully emptying the bladder
- Not being able to urinate at all
- Accidental urination (incontinence)
- Unable to control bowels
- Feeling a painful or burning sensation when you urinate
- Blood in your urine or semen
- Pain or stiffness in your lower back (spine), hips, ribs, upper thighs and other bones
- Trouble getting or maintaining an erection
- Weakness or numbness in legs or feet
- Unexplained weight loss
When to See Your Healthcare Provider
Experiencing one or more of these symptoms doesn’t automatically mean you have prostate cancer, or that existing prostate cancer is getting worse. Other health conditions may cause the same symptoms. These conditions include an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia).
That being said, none of these symptoms should be taken lightly. So if you do notice one or more of these symptoms, contact your healthcare provider and tell them about these changes as soon as you can. Only a healthcare provider can tell if you have cancer.
More details about prostate cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment are available on the American Cancer Society’s website.
