Symptoms Associated With Prostrate Cancer - Contact A Doctor
BY CHIOMA UMEHA Lagos Prostate cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the prostate gland grow uncontrollably, resulting in the formation of a malignant tumor. Although it is a common form of cancer in men, prostate cancer is very treatable in its early stages. The prostate gland, which is located between the penis and the bladder, is where it starts. The prostate serves a number of purposes. These include releasing PSA, a protein that helps semen maintain its liquid state, producing the fluid that nourishes and transports sperm, and assisting with urine control. If prostate cancer has spread beyond the prostate gland, it is considered "advanced." It may have spread to nearby tissues, which doctors refer to as "locally advanced." It could also have spread to the lymph nodes, bones, or other parts of the body. Then it is referred to as metastatic prostate cancer. Early prostate cancer frequently has no symptoms, but screening can find changes that might be cancerous.
