The most important thing about prostate cancer signs is that they do not appear in the early stage of the disease. Man can start noticing the signs as the disease progresses. The cancercould be discovered in the early stage if you make regular checkups (every year) The following 12 signs should not be ignored because they can be related with prostate cancer:
1.Erectile dysfunction
2.Bone torment
3.Pelvic distress
4.Pain in the lower back, thighs and hips
5.Ejaculation problem
6.Blood in the sperm
7.Blood in the urine
8.Burning sensation when urinating
9.Inability to complete urination or weak urine stream
10.Problem with holding back while urinating or inability to start urination
11.Often urination
12.Problems with urination while standing up
According do WebMD, these signs appear as a result of blockage that occurs in the prostate but not as a result of cancer. That’s why the progression of cancer influences sexual activity in men and urination.
I also have to mention that the symptoms mentioned above are not always related with prostate cancer. Some of them can also appear due to urinary tract disease, or extend prostate. It would be best to visit your doctor in order to determine the diagnose.
You should also call your doctor if you feel severe pain in the upper thigh, pelvis, ribs, lower back or you feel dull. Bone torment can also be usual in these areas.
Other types of tumor can have similar signs as prostate cancer in the progressive stage as weakness in the lower limbs, leg swelling, loss of appetite, nausea, tiredness and weight reduction, claims eMedicineHealth.
