5 Visual Signs Of Prostate Cancer
2

• Prostate cancer is the second leading type of
  cancer in men behind skin cancer and is one of
  the primary causes of death among men of all
  races. It is estimated that approximately
  twenty-seven thousand nine hundred and seventy
  men will die from prostate cancer in the United
  States alone.

• Despite these numbers, prostate cancer is highly
  treatable if it is caught during the early stages
  of the disease. Here are the visual signs to look
  out for.

1. Frequent Urination

• Although there are no real warning signs of early
  prostate cancer, frequent urination may be an
  indication of swelling or pressure on the
  prostate gland. This occurs when a tumor has
  formed and puts pressure on the prostate gland,
  resulting in the urge to urinate more often than
  normal, especially at night. In some cases,
  frequent urination is a sign that the tumor has
  spread beyond the prostate or may entirely
  encompass the gland.

2. Difficulty Urinating

• Difficulty urinating may be caused when the
  prostate gland grows large enough to press
  against the urethra, making it harder for urine
  to be comfortably evacuated from the body. This
  is known as a condition called benign prostate
  hyperplasia.

• However, a man may also experience difficulty
  urinating when a tumor is pressing against the
  urethra. Other symptoms may include a burning
  sensation or pain while urinating or during
  ejaculation. A doctor should be notified at the
  first sign of these symptoms to rule out prostate
  cancer.

3. Interrupted Urine Flow

• Along with difficulty urinating, a man with
  prostate cancer may experience an interrupted
  urine flow that starts and often stops before the
  bladder feels empty. This may be caused by a
  tumor growth pressing on the urethra.

• Enlargement or inflammation of the prostate gland
  are also symptoms of prostate cancer and may
  cause an interrupted urine stream. A frequently
  interrupted urine stream may be an indication of
  a tumor and should be discussed with a doctor.

4. Blood

• The presence of blood in the semen or urine may
  be a sign of prostate cancer. It is important to
  seek medical treatment to rule out other
  conditions as blood in the urine may be related
  to a urinary tract infection or kidney disease.
  Cancer may block the urethra tube, resulting in
  painful inflammation and bleeding of the prostate
  gland. Blood in the urine is usually a sign of
  advanced cancer and needs to be looked after
  immediately.

5. Enlarged Prostate

• Although a mans prostate will naturally grow as
  he ages, abnormally large growth advancements may
  be a sign of cancer. Several tests can be
  performed by a medical doctor to determine if
  cancer is present. A digital rectal exam involves
  a medical professional using an index finger to
  check the gland for abnormalities.

13

• An enlarged gland will feel smooth and firm while
  cancer will feel hard and lumpy. An ultrasound
  may also be done to determine the health of the
  prostate gland.
