Prostate is a gland in the shape of a walnut, is responsible for sperm production. The gland is located below the bladder that surrounds the lower part of the urethra, the tube that drains urine from the bladder. As the signs of prostate cancer develop, the prostate grows and compresses the urethra, causing various problems with urination.
Most men subjected to a second stage of development of prostate if they reach the age of forty years or more. During this phase, the cells of the inner part of the prostate reproduce faster than normal. As the tissues grow, they often compress the urethra after partially blocking the flow of urine. The prostate hyperplasia or BPH affects approximately fifty percent of men aged sixty percent and eighty men aged 80 and older. BPH is not cancerous.
If prostate cancer develops, it can remain within the prostate or spread outside the gland. If the cancer spreads from its primary location in other parts of the body, tumor cells has recently developed abnormalities similar to those of the primary tumor.
Urinary problems may be considered regular symptoms of prostate cancer, but other problems can also mean non-cancerous prostate and BPH. The following are the symptoms of prostate tumors associated with urination, including:
- Inability to urinate
- Pain or a burning sensation when urinating
- The frequent urination at night
