Prostate Cancer Symptoms

Question: Will a PSA of 135 be accompanied by symptoms in prostate cancer? My friend's spouse has had prostate cancer for three years without treatment. His PSA has climbed to 135. How soon will he suffer uncomfortable symptoms and what might they be??

Answer: You can't tell from the number. There is no threshold number that is associated with developing symptomatology. The symptoms, when they occur, depend on where the tumor is growing. Most often it is in the bones. In that case, the symptom will be bone pain.

Question: What are the symptoms of prostate cancer ? My brother is over the age of 50, making frequent trips to the bathroom during the night? these symptoms may indicate that he has a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate or a cancerous enlargement of the prostate, How to determine , is there any other symptoms?

Answer: Most prostate cancers are not symptomatic until they are in later stages, however, when symptoms do develop, they may include frequent trips to the bathroom, increased urinary urgency (meaning the urge comes suddenly and can't be held very long), erectile difficulties, dribblling after urination, pelvic and/or lower back pain. Some of these symptoms are also the same for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) which is the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. The only way to tell for sure is to have a physical exam (A DRE - doctor inserts lubricated finger in rectum to feel the prostate gland for any abnormalities, humiliating, yes, but it is not that bad and can save your life!!!), blood tests for PSA (prostate specific antigen detected in the blood, and when elevated can suggest the presence of prostate cancer), transrectal ultrasound, and/or biopsy if the other tests are suspicious. As an aside, any man over 40 or with any urinary difficulties should begin prostate cancer screening. When caught early, it is highly curable. When caught too late, it is not. Often when younger men get it, it tends to be more aggressive so get checked!!!!

Question: What are the symptoms of prostate & testicular cancer? and also what is there to look out for and what do ur genitals start to look like. please dont make a joke of this

Answer: If you are at an age to be concerned about testicular cancer than you are too young to worry about prostate cancer. Testicular cancer usually presents with a painless enlarged testicle, which almost always has a lump. It is not a very common cancer. The symptoms for prostate cancer are about the same for BPH and are not usually diagnosed due to symptoms as most men go for their screening exams.

Question: Prostate cancer and prostatitis symptoms? Would someone please tell me that prostatitis pain in the perineum is the pain that come and go while the prostate cancer pain is a persistent pain. Thank you Actually, it is a little bit discomfort, not a pain.

Answer: It is more likely a Benign Prostate Hypoplagia that caused any swelling. Especially if you're older than 35, get your doctor to run a BPH screen in order to rule out cancer. The earlier such cancer is detected, the easier to treat it effectively. Otherwise, if you're not having urinary trouble, there is probably no need to take Avodart or Flomax.

Question: what are the symptoms of prostate cancer in the initial and terminal phases?

Answer: My uncle had prostate cancer. Others here have listed the symptoms, so I won't repeat them. In my uncle, it was diagnosed as a result of his normal yearly physical. His doctor told him that prostate cancer is very slow growing, but they could go in and remove it if he wanted. After asking a lot of questions, and the doctor telling him that at his age at the time (in his 70's) that he would most likely die from heart problems or "natural causes" before he would die of the cancer, he decided not to do anything. But the doctor was wrong in his case. He died 3 years later, as a result of the cancer. It did grow slowly at first, but toward the end it went pretty quickly. His last year he began to have the common symptoms of advanced cancer, but by the last couple of months he was in a lot of pain and discomfort. He was in a hospice facility for about a month before his death so they could medicate him enough to relieve the pain. Although it is considered a slow growing cancer, my personal opinion, after losing 4 family members to cancer (uterine, protstate, leukemia, and 1 unknown because it was so advanced there were tumors everywhere), and 1 who's currently battling it (liver), is don't be happy with that answer. First, if you have not been diagnosed see a doctor ASAP before assuming you have it, and make sure whether or not you do. I say ASAP because every day earlier you catch cancer, the better your chances. If you have already been diagnosed, perhaps obtain a second opinion on whether you should seek treatment now rather than wait. My uncle's children now say they wish he had gone ahead and had it removed when it was still contained in the prostate - because he might still be alive today. The very best of luck to you (or whomever is going through this).

Question: what are the early symptoms of having a prostate cancer? i am 35 years of age and i am very weary about my occasional pain in my testicles. is it detectable even if its on its 1st stage?

Answer: Your prostate is nowhere near your testicles. Do you have any lumps in your testicles (apart from the obvious?) You should probably see your doctor. Testicular pain can be a few things such as a UTI or Hernia. Prostate cancer is usually signified by a weak or interrupted urinary flow. Chat with your doctor and stop worrying.

Question: I have all the symptoms of prostate cancer, but have a normal psa level. I am going broke. I cancer possible I have trouble starting urinating. I have microscopic blood in my urine. I have trouble emptying my bladder. I have pain in my lower back and pelvis.

Answer: The swollen prostate with all your symptoms does not necessarily mean you have cancer. The blood bothers me though. Please go see a good Urologist. He will do a biopsy on your prostate and will treat the enlarged gland. I have had all your symptoms as do 50% of Men over the age of 50. Check out the blood thing though.

Question: i have symptoms of prostate cancer? i have two symptoms of prostate cancer they are dribbling after peeing and i need to urinate more often but im 16 should i be worried and go to the doctor?

Answer: It is beyond unlikely that you have prostate cancer. It's extremely rare in men under 50, and so rare in young men that there are no statistics available for the disease incidence in men under 35. Over 80% of men diagnosed with prostate cancer are over 65 and half of all cases occur in men over 75.
