Frequent Urination? It Could Be a Sign of Prostate Cancer, Men Over 50 Beware!

• Frequent urination, especially at night (Nocturia), can be an early warning sign of prostate cancer, not just normal aging.
• The prostate gland, located below the bladder, affects urine function; swelling or tumors can cause a constant feeling of a full bladder.
• Other symptoms include difficulty starting urination, weak stream, incomplete bladder emptying, sudden urgency, and blood in urine/semen.
• Advanced cancer symptoms include lower back/hip/rib pain, unexplained weight loss, and extreme fatigue.
• Men over 50, those with a family history, and individuals with unhealthy lifestyles are at higher risk; regular screening (PSA test, DRE) is crucial for early detection.

Why It Matters: Frequent urination and other urinary changes in men, especially over 50, warrant medical consultation for prostate cancer screening.
