Symptoms of Prostatitis includes a burning feeling when urination occurs, an urgency of urination, a feeling of an inability to completely empty the bladder when urinating, pain before or during ejaculation, pain in the pubic region, and back pain. Prostatitis can be successfully treated by a urologist. The procedure involves opening up the urethra so that the urine can pass through without being hindered or slowed down. The good news is that Prostatitis is more common in older men than prostate cancer. However, the bad news is that Prostatitis can be caused by prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the leading cancer that affects males.
This is the reason that men should have a prostate examination every year beginning at the age of fifty years old. Men who are at a greater risk of cancer, if they have a male family history of the disease, for example, should start having their annual examinations beginning at the age of forty. A prostate examination is nothing to be afraid of. It might be a bit uncomfortable, but it can enable your doctor or healthcare professional to detect cancer early. Your doctor will perform a rectal exam and check the prostate gland through the wall of the bowel.
