What Are the Symptoms of Prostate Cancer?

Due to the location of the prostate and its proximity to the urinary system, many signs of prostate cancer will relate to urinary function or the general pelvic region. Such symptoms often include:

  • Difficulty urinating
  • Weakened urine stream
  • Pain within the pelvis or low back
  • Blood in urine and/or semen
  • Difficulty in getting or maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction)
  • Loss of control of the bladder or bowels
  • Increased frequency of urination

The list of symptoms above may describe a variety of urology conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is important that you seek treatment if you notice any of these warning signs, as it is always best to catch a condition in its earliest stages, especially if that condition does in fact turn out to be cancer.

What Are the Types of Prostate Cancer?

There are multiple unique forms of prostate cancer that men are at risk of developing. This risk is influenced by a variety of factors such as older age, family history, race, and obesity.

Depending upon where in the prostate the abnormal cells develop, a man may have one of five different types of prostate cancer. Most often, this particular form of cancer is classified as adenocarcinomas. Other types consist of:

  • Transitional cell carcinomas
  • Small cell carcinomas
  • Sarcomas
  • Neuroendocrine tumors

How is Prostate Cancer Diagnosed?

Regardless of what form of prostate cancer has affected an individual, each will require diagnostic imaging and maybe also a biopsy to confirm a definitive diagnosis.

In some cases, it may be advised for the patient to have their tumor removed from the prostate regardless of whether or not it has been identified as cancerous. The primary reason for this being that large growths on or within the prostate can cause a wide range of troublesome symptoms until the tumor is removed.
