What is Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland, which is a small, walnut-sized gland located just below the bladder in men. The prostate gland is responsible for producing seminal fluid, a component of semen that nourishes and transports sperm.
Prostate cancer occurs when cells in the prostate gland begin to grow uncontrollably. Over time, these cancerous cells can form a tumour and potentially spread to other parts of the body, particularly the bones and nearby lymph notes. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men.
In the early states, prostate cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. As the cancer advances, symptoms can include difficulty urinating, frequent urination (especially at night), weak or interrupted urine flow, blood in the urine or semen, pain or discomfort in the pelvic area, and erectile dysfunction.
