What are the symptoms of prostate cancer?

In the early stage of prostate cancer, the patient may not experience a single prostate cancer symptom. Often, the disease is 'silent.' As the malignancy spreads, it may constrict the urethra and cause urinary problems. These prostate cancer symptoms are very similar to benign hypertrophy (non-cancerous enlargement) of the prostate, which also occurs in older men. Significant bone pain may also be a signal that the cancer has spread.

Prostate Cancer Symptom List:
  • Frequent nocturnal urination
  • Weak urine stream
  • Inability to urinate
  • Blood in the urine
  • Pain or burning during urination
  • Chronic pain
  • Pelvic pain
  • Lower back pain
  • Hip pain
  • Pain in bones of upper legs
  • Significant weight loss
