What is prostate cancer and what should you know about it?
Growing Levels of PSA aren’t a good indicator of prostate health; instead, your doctor will seem at your PSA levels beside other risk factors, like age, digital rectal exam results, as well as family history.
Here, we will learn about the reasons that cause Prostate cancer in men. Let’s get started…
Age
The Level of Prostate cancer may enlarge and lead to prostate cancer as you get older. This typical rise may be originated by the growth of benign, prostatic tissue. Some men also experience enlargement of prostate gland as they age, which may also raise PSA levels.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
BPH, also called as enlarged prostate, is common in older men. It can lift PSA levels as well as affect the bladder as well as urinary tract. Men with BPH may have difficulty urinating and if left untreated, it may also interfere with kidney function.
Some common symptoms include:
· Difficulty initiating urination
· Weak urine productivity which includes dribbling or else straining
· Frequent urination
· Urgent need to urinate
· Inability to empty bladder completely
Urinary Tract Infection
UTI may also increase the PSA levels. They are commonly diagnosed through a urine test and treated with antibiotics. Symptoms of a UTI include:
· A constant urge to urinate, which is not always fully relieved after urination
· Inability to fully relieve the bladder
· Lowe back pain, particularly in the flank
· Abdominal pain
· A burning sensation or pain during urination
· Cloudy, foul smelling or bloody urine
· Fevers or chills
Prostatitis (prostate inflammation)
A widespread circumstance in men under 50, Prostatitis is often resulting of a bacterial infection; it causes swelling, inflammation, and irritation of the prostate gland. Symptoms are analogous to those of a UTI, and may include:
· Lower back or abdominal pain
· Pain or discomfort when urinating
· Difficulty urinating
