As it progresses, symptoms may include urinary changes, blood in urine or semen, erectile dysfunction, pelvic pain, and weakness or numbness. Risk factors include age, family history, genetic mutations, race, and lifestyle factors.

  2. Everything You Need to Know About Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland, which is a small walnut-shaped gland located below the bladder and in front of the rectum in men. The prostate gland produces some of the fluid that makes up semen and helps nourish and transport sperm. Prostate cancer typically develops when cells in the prostate gland mutate and grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor.

  3. Signs & Symptoms Prostate cancer, which develops in the prostate gland in men, often shows no symptoms in its early stages. As it progresses, symptoms may include urinary changes like difficulty starting or stopping urination, blood in urine or semen, erectile dysfunction, pelvic pain, and weakness or numbness. These symptoms can also arise from other conditions, so it's crucial to seek medical evaluation if they persist or worsen. Early detection through regular screening is key for better outcomes.

  4. Risk Factors Risk factors for prostate cancer include age (risk increases with age), family history of prostate cancer, certain genetic mutations (such as BRCA1 and BRCA2), race (African American men have a higher risk), and lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. Additionally, men with a history of certain prostate conditions, such as prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), may be at increased risk.

  5. Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer Diagnosis of prostate cancer typically involves a combination of tests and procedures. These may include a digital rectal exam (DRE), where a healthcare provider feels the prostate gland for abnormalities, and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test, which measures the level of PSA produced by the prostate gland. If these tests suggest a risk of prostate cancer, further evaluation may include imaging tests such as ultrasound, MRI, or biopsy.
