Prostate cancer symptoms

Author: Valerian D

Do you want to know what are the prostate cancer symptoms for sure ?
I hope I will not disappoint you, but basically, none.

However, the good news is more males die from heart, lung, liver, kidney, Alzheimer or accidents, other diseases than from prostate cancer, which is often detected only during an autopsy.

If you like more, put the problem another way: many more men die with
undetected prostate cancer than from it.

However it is recommended that all males have a PSA blood test every year after the age of 50, and a biopsy if any PSA test is high - some doctors say if it's over 40, others say over 50 or 60.

If the biopsy is positive and you're under 60, you may want to follow your doctor's suggestions.

Between 60 and 70, follow your heart and mind. How's your overall health else wise? How long do you expect to live (not how long do you want to live)? Would intervention improve the quality of live during your remaining years?

Over 70, it's really up in the air whether any treatment/surgery would be beneficial and add to the quality of life.
