Prostate cancer may not cause signs or symptoms in its early stages. Prostate cancer that is more advanced may cause signs and symptoms such as
• Trouble urinating
• Decreased force in the stream of urine
• Blood in the urine
• Blood in the semen
• General pain in the lower back, hips or thighs
• Discomfort in the pelvic area
• Bone pain and
• Erectile dysfunction.

Prostate cancer is cancer that occurs in a man’s prostate. This means a small walnut-shaped gland that produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. Prostate cancer grows slowly and initially remains confined to the prostate gland, where it may not cause serious harm.

Some types of prostate cancer grow slowly and may need minimal or no treatment, other types are aggressive and can spread quickly.
Prostate cancer that is detected early — when it’s still confined to the prostate gland — has a better chance of successful treatment.
