noodels Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Prostate Cancer kills 30 British men every dayIn other words get checked. NOW!!!Symptoms of Prostate CancerUnfortunately prostate cancer is often 'silent', with no symptoms for months or even years. This is why a screening program should be introduced for all middle-aged and older men without delay and why, in the meantime, you are urged to ask your doctor (physician or GP) for an annual PSA test yourself - see below.Any urinary or sexual changes should be checked out by a doctor straight away. However, all the following symptoms can have other causes and only a thorough medical examination and tests can determine what causes any particular symptom.Sexual symptoms can give the earliest indication of problems but they aren't often discussed, probably due to embarassment, and some doctors aren't even aware of them. You are more likely to notice them during masturbation than intercourse, but DON'T BE EMBARASSED!Reduced quantity of semenBlood in your semenPain or discomfort while ejaculatingDry ejaculation (no semen)Delayed ejaculation (semen not released with the first spasm of orgasm)Problems achieving or maintaining an erectionThe main urinary symptoms are:You may need to wee more frequently, especially at nightYou may not always make it to the toilet in timeIt may take longer to start weeing or to empty your bladderYou may have to strain to keep weeing or may not be able to wee at allYour urine flow may be weaker than it used to be or you may dribbleYour bladder may not feel completely empty when you finish weeingPain or discomfort while weeingBlood in your urineOther symptoms include:Unexplained pain in your back, hips or pelvisPain in your testicles or perineum (inbetween your anus and testicles)If you notice any of these symptoms, go to see your doctor without delay. There's a good chance that they are caused by something else but, if it's cancer, then early detection will give you the best chance of a cure.
