Prostate problems are quite common, especially among older men. Approximately 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. In addition, benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), which is the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, affects many men, especially those over 50.
The prostate is an essential part of men’s health, but due to lack of awareness, many men only become aware of its importance and related problems when they experience symptoms or conditions that affect their quality of life. Therefore, it is crucial to promote education about the prostate, early detection and seeking treatment to avoid serious complications. Men should be encouraged to have regular checkups, especially after the age of 50.
Prostate cancer, especially in advanced stages, can cause various forms of pain and discomfort. The main pains that prostate cancer patients may experience include:
– Frequent urge to urinate.
– Urgency to get up several times during the night to urinate.
– Blood in the urine or semen.
– Pain or burning when urinating.
– Painful ejaculation.
– Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, pelvic or rectal region, or upper thighs.
– Dribbling urine.
