Patient's question:
Prostate cancer in the late stage, unable to move the lower body, haven't eaten almost for half a month. Now short of breath, seems like there's phlegm that can't come out. Weak and unclear speech. So worried.Doctor's answer:
Prostate cancer in the late stage, in addition to controlling symptoms, may also present with metastatic symptoms. Prostate cancer can invade the bladder, seminal vesicles, and vascular nerve bundles, leading to hematuria, hematospermia, and premature ejaculation. Pelvic lymph node metastasis can cause bilateral lower limb edema. Therefore, patients generally experience weight loss and mental exhaustion. Don’t overthink it now; focus on actively treating the condition in a timely manner.In addition to treatment, patients should also prioritize post-treatment care. As long as the tumor can be controlled and recurrence is prevented, patients may even be able to live with the tumor long-term. For prostate cancer patients, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If treatment is delayed, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely and targeted medication and avoid overexertion in daily life.
