What are the signs of prostate cancer?

Most early prostate cancers are detected with PSA tests or digital rectal exams before they cause any symptoms. However, more advanced prostate cancers can cause a variety of symptoms including:

* trouble starting urination
* urinating much more frequently than usual
* the feeling that you can't release all of your urine
* pain on urination or ejaculation
* blood in your urine or semen
* impotence
* bone pain

All of these symptoms can be caused by a variety of things besides prostate cancer, so experiencing them doesn't necessarily mean you have prostate cancer. When older men have problems urinating, it is usually caused by process called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) which is not prostate cancer. If you experience any of these symptoms, you need to see your doctor for evaluation.
