Patient's question:
A few days ago, during a reunion with former comrades, I had a bit to drink, and that night I felt severe bloating and couldn't go to the bathroom. Previously, I never had this kind of feeling. After checking, it was diagnosed as prostate cancer. What are the early symptoms of prostate cancer?Doctor's answer:
Early symptoms of prostate cancer include frequent urination, urgent urination, always sleeping, and may also lead to urinary incontinence, thin urine stream, short, slow urine flow, interrupted urine flow, post-micturition dripping, incomplete urination, and difficulty urinating. Tumors can control the rectum, causing difficulty in defecation or intestinal obstruction. They can also control the vas deferens, leading to impaired ejaculation. Nerve control can cause pain in the perineum, which can radiate to the sciatic nerve. Prostate cancer can also invade the bone marrow, leading to anemia or an increase in the complete blood count.
