Once a man gets over fifty years old, it is a good idea to get his prostate checked. The reason is that, according to the WHO, prostate cancer is one of the deadliest cancers that affect males, and early detection makes a big difference in the chances for a successful treatment. It is similar to how breast cancer affects women – it is very frequent and deadly, but has a decent chance to be treated if detected early. This is why there is annual cancer screening for women.
First Symptom – A Frequent Need to Go to the Bathroom
One of the first signs of prostate cancer is the frequent need to urinate -by frequent, we’re talking about several times per day, to the rate of once every hour or so. Of course, drinking alcohol or lots of water can also cause this symptom.
Burning Sensation
This is also a leading symptom of early-stage prostate cancer. Do not write off this easily – even if it is not prostate cancer, it can just as easily be a symptom of on the numerous STD’s that are becoming more prevalent every year.
