Prostate Cancer Symptoms: What You Need to Know

Anemia

Anemia is a condition in which the red blood cells which are healthy in the body are not enough.  When there is a lack or a reduction in the red blood cells in the body and or the presence of red blood cells that are dysfunctional, the condition is known as anemia. Anemia causes a reduction in the flow of oxygen to the organs of the body. Some symptoms of anemia include shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness and a fast heartbeat.

Loss of Bowel Control

Loss of bowel control is being unable to control your bowel movements resulting in stool or feces to leak from the rectum unexpectedly. Loss of bowel control is caused by diarrhea, Crohn’s disease [5], impacted stool [6], nerves damage, multiple sclerosis and other conditions. If this happens, then it could be a sign of prostate cancer.

Conclusion

Prostate cancer can be treated with surgery, certain medications and medical procedures. It is therefore important to see a doctor when these symptoms begin to manifest.
