Some of the symptoms of prostate cancer include: frequent urination, increased urination at night time, difficulty starting/maintaining a steady stream of urine.

Some men never have symptoms. If you’re worried you should go to your doctor ASAP. A simple blood test to measure your PSA level (prostate specific antigen) is an indicator of prostate cancer and possible metastases.

Prostate cancer usually does not cause symptoms in its early stages. Most men don’t know they have it until it is found during a regular medical exam. When there are symptoms, they mostly involve having problems with urination. Symptoms may include:

Having difficulty starting your urine stream.
Having a weaker-than-normal urine stream.
Being unable to urinate at all.
Having to urinate often.
Feeling that your bladder is not emptying completely when you urinate.
Having to get up at night to urinate.
Having pain or a burning feeling when you urinate.
Having blood in your urine.
Having a deep pain in your lower back, abdomen, hip, or pelvis.
