Patient's question:
My father often attends banquets outside, and the pressure from work and life is very high, so he is prone to experiencing health issues again. A few days ago, my father felt unwell and went for a check-up, where he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. It was like a bolt from the blue. What are the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Early symptoms of prostate cancer include:1. Obstructive symptoms, which may include difficulty urinating, urinary retention, pain, hematuria, or incontinence.
2. Local invasive symptoms, where the bladder-rectal space is often the first area affected.
During treatment, it is important to pay attention to diet and necessary exercise while taking oral medication. The prostate can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the risk of recurrence is high after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
