The symptoms of prostate cancer can vary depending on which part of the prostate gland is affected and the stage the cancer has reached. Early prostate cancer usually has no or few symptoms and as a result prostate cancer is often not diagnosed until a later stage. Symptoms can include: 

• Weak or interrupted urine flow 
• Frequent urination 
• Difficulty urinating 
• Blood in the urine or semen 
• Pain or burning on urination 
• Impotence

Prostate cancer cells can break off from the tumour and spread to other parts of the body, especially the bones of the hip and lower back. When this happens, the most common symptom is bone pain.

These symptoms may be caused by other, unrelated conditions so experiencing them doesn’t necessarily mean you have prostate cancer. However, you should consult your doctor if you have any of these problems .
