A symptom is something that only the person experiencing it can identify and describe, such as fatigue, nausea, or pain. A sign is something that other people can identify and measure, such as a fever, rash, or an elevated pulse. Together, signs and symptoms can help describe a medical problem. While most prostate cancer does not cause any symptoms at all, the symptoms and signs of prostate cancer may include:

Frequent urination

Weak or interrupted urine flow or the need to strain to empty the bladder

The urge to urinate frequently at night

Blood in the urine

New onset of erectile dysfunction

Pain or burning during urination, which is much less common

Discomfort or pain when sitting, caused by an enlarged prostate

Other noncancerous conditions of the prostate, such as BPH or an enlarged prostate, can cause similar symptoms. Or, the cause of a symptom or sign may be another medical condition that is also not related to cancer. Urinary symptoms also can be caused by an infection of the bladder or other conditions. If cancer has spread outside of the prostate gland, symptoms and signs may include:

Pain in the back, hips, thighs, shoulders, or other bones

Swelling or fluid buildup in the legs or feet

Unexplained weight loss

Fatigue

Change in bowel habits

If you are concerned about any changes you experience, please talk with your doctor. Your doctor will ask how long and how often you have been experiencing the symptom(s), in addition to other questions. This is to help figure out the cause of the problem, called a diagnosis. If cancer is diagnosed, relieving symptoms remains an important part of cancer care and treatment. This may be called "palliative care" or "supportive care." It is often started soon after diagnosis and continued throughout treatment. Be sure to talk with your health care team about the symptoms you experience, including any new symptoms or a change in symptoms. The next section in this guide is Diagnosis. It explains what tests may be needed to learn more about the cause of the symptoms. Use the menu to choose a different section to read in this guide.

End-stage prostate cancer is when cancer cannot be cured and will lead to death. Prostate cancer occurs when cells in the prostate grow out of control. The prostate is a gland in men that helps produce fluid that goes into semen. The prostate is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder. End-stage prostate cancer, which also may be referred to as terminal prostate cancer, is when cancer cannot be cured and will lead to death. Because of routine screening tests, prostate cancer is often detected early, before cancer has spread (metastasized) to other organs and it is not usually fatal. When detected early, there are various treatment options and a good chance of a cure. However, once the prostate cancer has spread (metastasized) to other organs such as the lungs, liver, or bones, the 5-year survival rate drops to 30%. Things that happen when a person is nearing the end of life from cancer, including end-stage prostate cancer, may include:
