Do you know your prostate? Don’t ignore frequent urination and pain

Compared with other cancers, prostate cancer develops slowly, and cancer cells may grow in the body for 10, 20, or even 30 years before they grow large enough to cause symptoms. Therefore, by the time symptoms become obvious, the cancer cells may have spread throughout the body.

Symptoms of prostate cancer often include:
● Difficulty urinating
● A constant need to urinate, especially at night
● A weak, slow urine stream
● Pain or burning when urinating
● Blood in the urine or semen
● Pain with ejaculation
● Pain in the back, hips, or pelvis
