Prostate Cancer Symptoms

Prostate Cancer Symptoms - Prostate cancer is often asymptomatic (displays no noticeable symptoms) in its early stages. When present, some common symptoms of prostate cancer may include the following: a frequent need to urinate, a weak or interrupted urine flow, pain or burning during urination, painful ejaculation, blood in the urine or semen, and prolonged pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or pelvis. Some of the symptoms of prostate cancer may be similar to the symptoms of a less serious disease called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Because prostate cancer symptoms may resemble the symptoms of other, noncancerous conditions, it is important to consult with a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis.
