Prostate Cancer Symptoms - The Diagnosis and MORE Reasons to Be Concerned
It was established in the first part of this article that prostate cancer can spread to order parts of the body and this is often manifested long after the condition has advanced.
One of the major symptoms experienced is bone pain.
Having or feeling bone pain is never a good sign because it generally indicates aggressive disease that may not be responsive to hormone treatments, while being also highly resistant to other therapies.
In that wise, interventions are often combined to ensure the best results in treatment, which would be removal of the cancer and assurance of the disease not relapsing.
How helpful are the symptoms of prostate cancer in self diagnosis? Unfortunately, waiting for the symptoms to appear is not a very healthy idea.
As stated earlier, early stage prostate carcinoma has no symptoms, yet this is the best time to cure the disease with something like 10 year biochemical disease free rate.
If you miss the treatment at this time, allowing the disease to progress to the later stages when it starts to present more symptoms, you are bound to be rather unlucky in therapies.
Late stage prostate cancer in the spine can start to compress the spinal cord, you know, causing leg weakness and urinary and fecal incontinence, and then you would really wish you had caught it early.
Do yourself a favor - knowing your risk increases with age, start to see a doctor yearly from when you turn fifty (or even earlier) so that they can catch the disease before the symptoms appear.
