Symptoms of Prostrate Cancer

During the early stages of prostate cancer, men often do not experience any symptoms. The symptoms of prostate cancer can mimic other conditions such as an enlarged prostate gland. Since the prostate gland is located near the rectum, your doctor may do a finger exam to feel for a tumor or enlarged prostate gland. A prostate tumor can cause a blockage of the urethra and thus result in an enlarged bladder as well.

Frequent Urination
Men with prostate cancer can experience an increase in nighttime urination as well as frequent urination during the day.

Urine Retention
You may experience problems with passing urine or not be able to urinate.

Full Bladder Sensation
If you have prostate cancer, your bladder may feel full even after urination

Weak Flow of Urine
There may be flow interruptions or a very weak flow during urination

Urination Pain
You may feel pain when ejaculating or urinating.

Signs of Blood
There may be blood present in your semen or urine if you have prostate cancer.

Pelvic Pain
You may experience dull pain in your lower back or pelvic region.
