Patient's question:
Uncle is in the late stage of prostate cancer. He can no longer move his upper body now, and hasn't eaten almost anything for half a month. He is short of breath, as if he can't cough up phlegm. His speech is weak and unclear. He can no longer move his upper body, hasn't eaten almost anything for half a month. He is short of breath, as if he can't cough up phlegm.

Late-stage symptoms of prostate cancer primarily manifest as lower urinary tract obstruction, accompanied by hematuria and urinary retention, with the weakest symptom being pain. If the patient experiences recurrent urinary difficulties or severe pain in the waist, sacral region, buttocks, hips, pelvic area, or ischial region, it is crucial to be vigilant and seek immediate medical examination to diagnose the condition. At the same time, patients should actively engage in daily care, with the main focus being on boosting immunity and controlling the tumor. For prostate cancer patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect fertility.
