Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that begins with the uncontrolled growth of cells in the prostate, a walnut-sized gland in the male reproductive system located below the bladder. It is the most common cancer in men and can often be cured if caught early, but many early cases have no symptoms. Symptoms may include a weak or frequent urinary stream, blood in the urine or semen, or erectile dysfunction. Diagnosis involves screening tests like a PSA blood test and sometimes a biopsy, while treatments can include surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
Symptoms
Urinary issues: Frequent urination, waking up to urinate often at night, a weak or interrupted flow, or trouble starting to urinate.
Blood in bodily fluids: Blood in the urine or semen.
Pain: Pain or discomfort in the pelvic area, lower back, or hips.
