1. Voiding abnormalities
Urinary frequency, urgency, nocturia, a weak urinary stream, and straining, with progressive worsening that may lead to urinary retention.
2. Changes in urine or semen
Gross or microscopic hematuria, hematospermia, and cloudy urine with signs of infection warrant prompt medical evaluation.
3. Pelvic discomfort
Persistent distending pain in the perineal or suprapubic region radiating to the lumbosacral area, worsened by sitting/standing and relieved when supine.
4. Sexual dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction, painful ejaculation, decreased semen volume, and reduced libido, which may impair quality of life.
5. Symptoms related to bone metastasis
Persistent bone pain in advanced disease, commonly involving the spine and pelvis, sometimes with pathological fractures or spinal cord compression.
6. Manifestations of lymphatic metastasis
Painless lymphadenopathy in the inguinal or cervical regions and lower-limb/scrotal edema may suggest advanced disease.
7. Systemic symptoms
Fatigue, weight loss, anorexia, anemia, and other cachexia-related manifestations are more common in late-stage disease.
8. Rectal compression symptoms
Posterior tumor extension may cause constipation and tenesmus; digital rectal examination may detect induration or nodularity.
Jinshazhou Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine emphasizes that prostate cancer is a common malignancy in men. Early symptoms are often insidious, and many patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, with complications such as urinary obstruction and bone pain. Prompt medical evaluation is essential when symptoms occur. Early diagnosis and standardized treatment can markedly improve outcomes, and regular screening is an effective measure to prevent late-stage presentation.
