The videos below on prostate cancer awareness have been produced by Cambridge Prostate Cancer, a virtual network of researchers and clinicians, interested in advancing knowledge of prostate cancer and improving patient care.
Symptoms of prostate cancer can include: needing to pee more frequently, often during the night, needing to rush to the toilet, difficulty in starting to pee (hesitancy), straining or taking a long time while peeing, weak flow, feeling that your bladder has not emptied fully, blood in urine or blood in semen.
However, these symptoms do not always mean you have prostate cancer, and prostate cancer does not usually cause any symptoms until the cancer has grown large enough to put pressure on the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the penis (urethra), hence it can be considered silent with people having the cancer and not realising.
