Prostate cancer tends to be present without causing severe symptoms for a long period of time. Early diagnosis can be beneficial. Presence of any urinary symptoms such as difficulty with urination, frequent urination, blood in urine or increased urination at night should prompt a thorough evaluation. While these symptoms can also be caused by BPH and UTI, a thorough urological evaluation will determine the cause.
Sometimes prostate cancer can present late with symptoms such as bone pain, difficulty with urination and blood in urine. Oftentimes, it is more subtle. A thorough urological evaluation will help to determine if you are at increased risk.
Men after age 50 are at increased risk for developing prostate problems including prostate cancer. Effective treatment for prostate cancer is available.
