Where is prostate cancer pain located?

Symptoms of advanced prostate cancer include: Dull, deep pain or stiffness in your pelvis, lower back, ribs, or upper thighs; pain in the bones of those areas.

Early Signs of Prostate Cancer There are no warning signs of early prostate cancer. You can’t feel the growing tumor pushing against anything else, so there’s no pain. You can have the disease for years and not know it. That’s why regular prostate cancer screenings are so important. Symptoms of Prostate Cancer Once a tumor causes your prostate gland to swell, or once cancer spreads beyond your prostate, you may have symptoms including: The need to pee often, especially at night

Trouble starting or stopping a stream of urine

A weak stream or one that starts and stops

Leaking pee when you laugh or cough

Not being able to pee standing up

Pain or burning when you pee

Pain or burning when you ejaculate

Less fluid when you ejaculate

Blood in your pee or semen

Pressure or pain in your rectum

Pain or stiffness in your lower back, hips, pelvis, or thighs

New trouble getting an erection These aren’t symptoms of the cancer itself. They happen because the cancer growth is blocking your prostate.

Loss of weight and appetite

Fatigue, nausea, or vomiting

Swelling of your lower limbs

Weakness or paralysis in your lower limbs, often with constipation

Bowel problems
