What are some early signs of prostate cancer?

The prostate gland is a vital cog in the male reproductive system; its primary task is the production of seminal fluids that help protect and transport sperm. Cancer in the prostate is a commonly occurring form of cancer, with a rising global incidence. Prostate cancer begins when healthy cells mutate and proliferate rapidly. This leads to a tumor which could be either benign or malignant.
Prostate cancer exhibits certain unique characteristics – the growth rate of prostate tumors is significantly slower than in the case of other cancers; also prostate cancers are less aggressive in the sense that they rarely spread to other parts.
The Urology CMT at APCC is a highly skilled forum that has expert abilities in end-to-end care for prostate cancer. Skilled clinicians are very important in prostate cancer treatment because there are times when the treatment procedure may cause more discomfort than the disease itself.
Most patients have no symptoms to act as warning signs of prostate cancer. However, they can sometimes experience the following:
  • Frequent need to urinate
  • Difficulty starting or stopping urination
  • Weak or sporadic urine flow
  • Leaking urine when laughing or coughing
  • Painful or burning urination
  • Blood in the urine or semen
  • Dull pain or stiffness in the lower back, ribs or upper thighs
  • Swelling, weakness or numbness in the lower extremities
  • Difficulty having an erection.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
