Patient's question:
I am 62 years old this year. A few weeks ago, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. My family told me it was prostatitis, but I felt something was off. I thought it might be cancer, and I was very heartbroken. What are the common symptoms of prostate cancer?Doctor's answer:
1. Prostate disease is often hidden, with some patients experiencing rapid and widespread spread, while others may remain undetected for life. It is commonly misdiagnosed as benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatitis. 80% of prostate cancer can be diagnosed through a digital rectal exam.2. Bone marrow suppression syndrome
3. Bone tumor metastasis
4. Paraneoplastic syndrome
5. High calcium levels
6. Pain
7. High uric acid
8. Pleural effusion
9. Leg edema
For prostate patients, timely treatment can reduce the progression of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment.
