Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers that men face. Although prostate cancer rarely produces obvious symptoms in its early stages, there are a few signs that can signal that something is wrong with the prostate.
Here are five potential warning signs of prostate cancer:
1.A painful or burning sensation during urination or ejaculation
2.Frequent urination, especially at night
3.Difficulty stopping or starting to urinate
4.Sudden erectile dysfunction
5.Blood in urine or semen
Other possible early signs of prostate cancer include unusually low urine output and unexplained pain around the prostate when sitting. If the cancer has spread beyond the prostate, men may experience swelling in the lower body, back or hip pain, abnormal bowel habits, or unexplained weight loss.

It is important to note that the signs of prostate cancer are also shared by many other less serious conditions. If you have one or more of these symptoms, it does not necessarily mean that you have prostate cancer. Likewise, a man who is diagnosed with prostate cancer may not have any of these symptoms.
What to do if you have symptoms of prostate cancer?
If you have one or more signs of prostate cancer, be sure to see a doctor promptly. Even benign (non-cancerous) prostate conditions, like prostate enlargement, require timely medical attention, so don’t delay seeking treatment. And, like most other malignant tumors, prostate cancer is usually easier to treat when caught at an early stage.
