Specialist breaks down 7 warning signs you
Following Joe Biden’s recent diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer, a specialist is highlighting seven key symptoms people should watch for—six of which relate to urination. Professor Hashim Ahmed, a urological surgeon, explained that frequent urination (especially at night), a constant feeling of a full bladder, difficulty starting or stopping urination, a weak urine flow, and blood in urine or semen could be warning signs. These symptoms may indicate a blockage caused by an enlarged prostate or tumor and should not be ignored.
Another potential sign of prostate cancer is erectile dysfunction, which includes trouble maintaining an erection, painful ejaculation, or reduced semen. The Mayo Clinic also lists symptoms like blood in semen, bone or back pain, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and weakness in limbs. While these issues can result from other health conditions, Professor Ahmed advises speaking with a doctor if any symptoms occur. Early detection remains vital, and support is available through organizations like the American Cancer Society, offering confidential help 24/7.
