Prostate Cancer Symptoms

Some men diagnosed with cancer of the prostate will have no obvious signs or symptoms. This may be because they have had a raised PSA blood test as part of a well-man check up and then been investigated. Early prostate cancers that are completely within the prostate gland will not cause any symptoms at all since they will not be painful or affect the flow of the urine. Some men will not have symptoms even though the cancer has started to invade through to the outside of the prostate gland.

We are building a series of articles on prostate cancer symptoms which begin below.

Early Symptoms of Prostate Cancer

The problem with trying to diagnose prostate cancer early is that the symptoms of early prostate cancer are similar to those caused by benign (non-cancerous) prostate enlargement known as Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy or BPH. In fact BPH often causes more symptoms than prostate cancer and is very common in men as they get older. Many men diagnosed with prostate cancer will also have BPH. However many men who have BPH will not have prostate cancer at all.
