Most men do not have any physical symptoms with early prostate cancer. As prostate cancer advances, some men may experience the need to urinate more often, or may find their ability to urinate is slowed or weakened. These problems can also be caused by noncancerous conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Painful irritation can also occur, but this is typically due to other causes, such as infection. Blood in the urine or sexual problems (such as difficulty getting an erection) also may occur as prostate cancer advances. Blood in semen is also sometimes associated with prostate cancer, but can be caused by other conditions such as prostatitis, which is an infection or inflammation of the prostate gland. Pain in the back, hips, and ribs may be other signs of advanced cancer.
