Symptoms are mainly divided into three categories, and it is recommended to collect self-checklists:

I. Abnormal urination: the most easily detected alarm

  • Urination becomes thinner and the range is shortened

  • Frequent urination (especially obvious at night)

  • Waiting to urinate and feeling of incomplete urination

  • Inability to urinate in severe cases (urinary retention)

II. Local spread: the "domino effect" of tumor invasion

  • Lower abdominal/perineal swelling

  • Testicular prolapse or low back pain

  • Hematuria/hematospermia (urine/ Blood in semen)

  • Urinary incontinence or painful urination

III. Metastatic symptoms: Be alert to these pains

  • Severe bone pain (common in the lumbar spine and pelvis)

  • Increased risk of unexplained fractures

  • Lower limb/perineal edema

  • Persistent cough, chest pain (alert to lung metastasis)

  • Jaundice, discomfort in the liver area (possible liver metastasis)

  • Headache, confusion (brain metastasis signal)

Oncologists remind:

  1. After the age of 50, it is recommended to do PSA testing + rectal examination every year (up to 45 years old if there is a family history)

  2. Do not blindly take anti-inflammatory drugs when hematuria occurs, do a urinary tract ultrasound examination first

  3. If bone pain persists for 2 weeks without relief, a full-body bone scan is recommended
