Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a growth of cells that starts in the prostate. The prostate is a small gland that helps make semen. It's found just below the bladder. The prostate is part of the male reproductive system.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. Prostate cancer is usually found early, and it often grows slowly. Most people with prostate cancer are cured. Prostate cancer may not cause symptoms at first. Most prostate cancers are found at an early stage. This means that the cancer is only in the prostate. An early-stage prostate cancer often doesn't cause symptoms. When they happen, symptoms comprise of blood in the urine, which might make the urine look pink, red or cola-colored, blood in the semen, needing to urinate more often, trouble getting started when trying to urinate, and waking up to urinate more often at night. If the prostate cancer spreads, other symptoms can happen. Prostate cancer that spreads to other parts of the body is called metastatic prostate cancer. It also might be called stage 4 prostate cancer or advanced prostate cancer. The symptoms consist of accidental leaking of urine, back pain, bone pain, difficulty getting an erection, also known as erectile dysfunction, fatigue, losing weight without trying, and weakness in the arms or legs. To prevent this illness, healthy lifestyle is needed. Thank you.
