Re: prostate cancer side effects

Usually prostate cancer has no side effects in the early stage- and that is the challenge
prostate cancer grows on the outer part of the prostate and doesnt cause symptoms until late
Urinary symptoms are usually caused by an enlarged prostate squeezing the urethra pipe and this ISNT cancer just benign growth.
Symptoms can be frequency, poor flow, nighttime urination, blood in the urine
