Prostate cancer signs:
 
Prostate is a tiny walnut size gland present just below the bladder in men.
 
It produces fluid that makes up a part of semen. Prostate cancer is cancer that occurs in the prostate.
 
It is one of the most common types of cancer. 
 
Many prostate cancers grow slowly and are confined to the prostate gland, where they may not cause serious harm. They don’t even need any treatment or may be minimal.
 
But the other types are aggressive and need prompt medical attention. 
 
Prostate cancer that's detected early and confined to the prostate gland has the best chance for successful treatment.
 
What are the risk factors of prostate cancer?

The most common risk factors are:
Old age
Family history
African American men
 
Prostate cancer Signs and Symptoms:
 
Different people have different symptoms for prostate cancer. Some men don’t have symptoms at all
 
But if you are having symptoms, then you may find it difficult to start urinating. 

 
Decreased force in the stream of urine which leads to Weak or interrupted flow of urine
 
You may experience increased frequency of  urination, often during the night and there will be trouble emptying the bladder completely.
 
Pain or burning during urination is also a sign of prostate cancer. But, it can also be seen in urinary tract infections.
 
You may see Blood in the urine or semen
 
If there is any Pain in the back, hips, or pelvis that doesn’t go away, then one of the many reasons could be prostate cancer.
 
You may experience painful ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.
 
Here, one point worth mentioning is that As a man ages, the prostate tends to increase in size. This can cause the urethra to narrow and decrease urine flow. This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia, and it is not the same as prostate cancer.
 
So, keep in mind that these symptoms may be caused by conditions other than prostate cancer. Take medical advice if you have any persistent signs and symptoms.
