PROSTATE CANCER SYMPTOMS

Because of its position surrounding the neck of the bladder and the urethra, the enlarging prostate gland compresses the urethr. leading to:

•	Hesitancy in initiating urination;
•	Reduction in the force of the urinary stream;
•	Post-urination dribbling;
•	An increase in frequency of urinating;
•	Incomplete emptying of the bladder;
•	Nocturia (urinating at night);
•	Overflow urinary incontinence;
•	Occasional urinary retention;
•	Haematuria (blood in the urine). This is a more suspicious symptom.

It is very difficult to differentiate between prostate cancer and BPH based on symptoms alone and some further tests may be required to establish a firm diagnosis.
