Patient's question:
For the past year, I have been experiencing symptoms of urinary difficulties, accompanied by frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, and a feeling of incomplete urination. At times, the urine drips, and sometimes I have to get up several times during the night. This has severely impacted my life. Later, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the hospital. What are the symptoms of prostate cancer?Doctor's answer:
The bladder rectal space is often the first area to be injured. This space contains organs such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, and the lower end of the ureter. If a tumor invades and controls the vas deferens, it can cause lower back pain and pain in the patient's testicle on the affected side. Some patients also report pain during ejaculation.Secondly, pain in other areas: lower back, sacral region, buttocks, and hip pain are common, often severe and unbearable. This may be due to the spread of the cancer to the bones, nerve involvement, or conditions such as hydronephrosis or kidney infection. Approximately 31% of patients experience recurrent pain.
