What are the symptoms of prostate cancer?

Other symptoms of prostate cancer include blood in the urine and/or a painful or burning sensation when urinating. It is important to remember that prostate cancer, especially in its early stages, may not produce any symptoms at all. That is why regular examinations are recommended. If left untreated, prostate cancer can spread from the prostate to nearby lymph nodes, bones, or other organs. This spread is called metastasis. As a result of metastases, many men experience aches and pains in the bones, pelvis, hips, ribs, and their back.

Why does prostate cancer spread?

The male hormone testosterone produced almost entirely by the testicles, stimulates prostate cancer much in the same way as kerosene fuels a fire. As long as the body produces testosterone, prostate cancer will probably continue to grow and spread. In fact, the American Cancer Society considers high levels of testosterone to be one of the principal risk factors for prostate cancer.
