7 Prostate Cancer Symptoms to Watch for - Stay Safe

Are your urination problems because of prostate cancer? Is it accompanied by excessive bone pain? Then it’s time to get checked.

Prostate cancer is difficult to diagnose in its initial stages. There are no early warning signs of this disease.

Here are a few symptoms you might experience if you suffer from prostate cancer.

Urination

If you experience pain or a burning sensation while urinating, or trouble while starting or stopping urination or even the need to urinate frequently, it’s a warning sign- not just for prostate cancer but for other serious conditions as well.

Erection
