Prostate Cancer Symptoms.

I am posting this because it's asked a lot.  I have always said I was asymptomatic, but I did have slight ED and was taking Cialis when I was diagnosed.  For the most part, PCa has no symptomes at diagnosis.  We have a tendency to associate symptoms as a sign of advanced disease.  And that is true.  But I wonder how many guys had ED as a result of the disease and just attributed it to age.  Here is what PCF says can be symptoms:

If the cancer is caught at its earliest stages, most men will not experience any symptoms.  Some men, however, will experience symptoms that might indicate the presence of prostate cancer, including:

• A need to urinate frequently, especially at night;
• Difficulty starting urination or holding back urine;
• Weak or interrupted flow of urine;
• Painful or burning urination;
• Difficulty in having an erection;
• Painful ejaculation;
• Blood in urine or semen; or
• Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs.

Great List Tony,

I had 6 out of 8 signs and even then it took me over three years to go see a doctor, and only to see if I had a bladder infection.

• A need to urinate frequently, especially at night;
• Difficulty starting urination or holding back urine;
• Weak or interrupted flow of urine;
• Painful or burning urination;
• Painful ejaculation;
• Blood in urine or semen;

Gentlemen, maybe our wifes are right.  We may be a wee bit stubborn.
