Prostate Cancer Symptoms
Prostate cancer itself may not cause any symptoms.
Prostate cancer may cause urinary problems caused by the pressure the cancer (e.g. difficulty in urinating or perhaps urinating more frequently). However, these symptoms are very common in men and are not usually caused by prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer may somtimes result in blood being produced in the urine or semen.
Prostate cancer can also cause problems if it spreads to other parts of the body. For instance it can spread to bones, which could result in you going to your doctor with bone pains, this may cause pain in your back, hips, pelvis or other bony areas. This is known as secondary prostate cancer. Sometimes it can cause anaemia (a low blood count) making you feel weak and tired.
Do also remember that very early prostate cancer does not usually cause any symptoms at all because any growth in the prostate is too small to have any noticeable effect on urine flow.
