Signs and Symptoms

I made a quick chart showing the most common symptoms that men with prostate cancer experience. Note that most men with prostate cancer will have no symptoms whatsoever. Equally important to remember is that the symptoms listed below can be caused by other things besides prostate cancer as well. In other words, the symptoms are not specific only to prostate cancer.


I received this information from a lecture in my nursing program given by Dr. Donna L Berry, PhD, AOCN (1). 

Here is a video from Cancer Research UK that explains this as well. It also talks a bit about tests for prostate cancer diagnosis, which will be my next topic.
