Men with early prostate cancer may be without any symptoms. Any enlargement of the prostate can cause problems when passing urine. These can include: - More frequent need to pass urine
- Delay or hesitancy before urinating
- Waking from sleep to pass urine
- Dribbling of urine
- Weak stream with difficulty starting and stopping
It is important to stress that most men with these symptoms do not have prostate cancer. Non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland can affect over half of all men over the age of 60. Less common symptoms of prostate cancer can include: - Blood in the urine or semen
- Pain deep in the pelvis between the penis and back passage
- Pain in the back, hip or leg
- Inability to get or maintain an erection
