Prostate Cancer Symptoms

What are prostate cancer symptoms? The scary truth is-- in the earlier stages there may be none. The only way to know you are effected is by regular screening. Are you at risk for prostate cancer? If you are man, the answer is yes. One in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime.* The risk increases with age. Around two-thirds of prostate cancer patients are age 65 and older. If you have a father or brother with prostate cancer, your risk doubles.

You should begin getting regular screening for prostate cancer starting at age 40. By the time symptoms occur, your cancer could already be in second or third stages. If you do experience the following symptoms, Cancer Treatment Centers of America have a host of sophisticated diagnostic tools to determine your condition.

1. Frequent urination, especially during the night
2. Difficulty initiating urine flow, or by contrast, difficulty holding urine back
3. Weak or intermittent urine flow
4. Painful or burning urination
5. Difficulty with erections
6. Painful ejaculation
7. Blood in urine or semen
8. Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs
