If You Have Symptoms of Prostate Issues
You may have a prostate issue if you have the following symptoms:
- Frequent urination
- Pain or burning during urination
- Dribbling of urine
- Blood in urine or semen
- Painful ejaculation
- Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, upper thighs, pelvic or rectal area
Talk to your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. Your doctor may want you to have testing or an exam by a urologist to diagnose a prostate issue.
Enlarged Prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
Enlarged prostate, or BPH, is a non-cancer prostate issue. BPH is an excess growth of prostate tissue that compresses and obstructs the urethra, reducing the flow of urine from the bladder and sometimes blocking it entirely.
Symptoms include waking up multiple times during the night to urinate; frequency, urgency, irregular and weak urinary flow; anxiety; challenges with sexual function and limitations on daily activities.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a common cancer for men. If you are between the ages of 40 and 70, talk to your primary care doctor about getting a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test. Your doctor may also want you to have a digital rectal exam.
