Prostate Cancer 2

How serious is prostate cancer?

How serious prostate cancer is depends on if it has spread to other parts of the body. In the early stages there are no signs or symptoms which makes it difficult to diagnose. This is a shame as it can be successfully treated if it is caught in the early stages.

Later signs may include back, hip or pelvis pain or difficulty maintaining an er****on. You may also have problems p*eing, but this could be signs of other prostate problems. As the cancer grows it can press on the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the p***s.

If this happens it may lead to:

• Finding it difficult to start p*eing or straining to p*e
• Having a weak flow of urine
• “Stop start” p*eing
• Needing to p*e urgently or often or both
• Feeling like you still need to p*e when you’ve just finished
• Peeing during the night.

Prostate Cancer 1

Where is your prostate gland?

The prostate is a small walnut sized gland under the bladder. It produces a thick white fluid that mixes with s***m to make semen. Prostate cancer affects this gland and is most common in men over 50 or from a Black African or Caribbean background, if there is a history of prostate cancer in your family, or a close relative has had breast or ovarian cancer because prostate cancer is sometimes caused by the same inherited genes.

In the UK more than 64,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. 1 in 8 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. In black men it is 1 in 4 that will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. 12,000 men die from prostate cancer in the UK each year.
