According to World Health Organization, prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of death among men. Unfortunately, in most cases, the symptoms of prostate cancer only appear in the cancer’s early development.
Prostate cancer symptoms can vary from man to man, meaning that there could also be a possibility that the following symptoms are caused by other health conditions. It is mostly important for men that are above 50 years old to never ignore these symptoms and to seek medical help right away. It is still important for the younger population as well.
The following is a list of 12 early warning signs of prostate cancer that men must not ignore:
- A frequent urge to urinate especially during the evening
