This page was reviewed under our medical and editorial policy by Maurie Markman, MD, President, Medicine & Science at CTCA. Early signs of prostate cancer Because of the proximity of the prostate gland to the bladder and urethra, prostate cancer may be accompanied by a variety of urinary symptoms, especially in the early stages of prostate cancer. Depending on its size and location, a tumor may press on and constrict the urethra, inhibiting the flow of urine. Some early prostate cancer signs include: Burning or pain during urination

Difficulty urinating, or trouble starting and stopping while urinating

More frequent urges to urinate at night

Loss of bladder control

Decreased flow or velocity of urine stream

Blood in urine (hematuria)

Blood in semen

Erectile dysfunction

Advanced prostate cancer symptoms Men with advanced prostate cancer may experience additional symptoms. That’s because the cancer has spread from the prostate to other parts of the body, such as the bones or lymph nodes. Signs of metastatic prostate cancer may include: Swelling in legs or pelvic area

Numbness or pain in the hips, legs or feet

Bone pain that persists or leads to fractures A wide range of treatment options are available for managing advanced cancer. These treatments kill cancer cells, but they may also help patients manage pain. Prostate cancer treatment: The care you need is one call away Your multidisciplinary team will work with you to develop a personalized plan to treat your prostate cancer in a way that fits your individual needs and goals. DISCOVER THE CTCA DIFFERENCE Recurrent prostate cancer symptoms Prostate cancer that returns after treatment is considered recurrent. When it returns to the area around the prostate, the disease is classified as a local recurrence. If the cancer is found in another part of the body, the recurrent cancer is considered metastatic. If the cancer metastasizes (or spreads) outside the prostate, it most likely develops in bones first. Metastatic prostate cancer most often spreads to the liver, bones and lungs. After initial treatment for prostate cancer, PSA levels are expected to drop dramatically. The first sign of recurrent prostate cancer may be a rise in the PSA level as seen on a blood test. Other symptoms of recurrent cancer may depend on whether and where the cancer has spread. Symptoms include: Blood in the urine

Difficulty urinating

Lower back pain

Fatigue

Difficulty breathing

Jaundice Patients should discuss any symptoms with their doctor and ask about scheduling regular PSA tests after treatment.

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that all men have. It’s found below your bladder and in front of your rectum. The job of the prostate is to make fluid that contains sperm (semen). This fluid protects the sperm when they travel toward a woman’s egg. If your prostate becomes swollen, tender, and inflamed, you have a condition called “prostatitis.” This isn’t cancer, and it’s different from having an “enlarged prostate.” Symptoms of Prostatitis There are four types of prostatitis. Each has its own set of symptoms and causes. These include: Acute bacterial prostatitis. Your urinary tract is made up of your kidneys, bladder, and the tubes that pass between them. If bacteria from here finds its way into your prostate, you can get an infection. This type of prostatitis comes on quickly. You might suddenly have: Urgent need to pee but only a little comes out, or you have to get to the toilet quickly to prevent an accident

High fever

Chills

Trouble peeing

Pain around the base of your penis or behind your scrotum
