Symptoms of prostate cancer

Symptoms of prostate cancer include:

difficulty in starting to pass urine
a weak, sometimes intermittent flow of urine
dribbling of urine before and after urinating
a frequent or urgent need to pass urine
pain when passing urine
rarely, blood in the urine
erectile dysfunction
These symptoms are similar to those produced by a common non-cancerous disease where the prostate becomes enlarged (benign prostatic hyperplasia).

If you have any of these symptoms, it's very important that you visit your GP for advice. If prostate cancer is found early, it can often be cured.

If prostate cancer spreads to other parts of your body, other symptoms can develop. The most common site for prostate cancer to spread to is the lower back, pelvis and hips. These bones can become painful and tender.
