1. A change in urination
Urinary symptoms can include frequent urination, small amounts of urine, and slow urine flow or a general change in bladder function.
These symptoms can be caused by urinary infections (usually in women) or, in men, by an enlarged prostate gland.
- Most men will suffer from harmless prostate enlargement as they age and will often have these urinary symptoms.
- These symptoms may also signal prostate cancer.
Men experiencing urinary symptoms need further investigation, possibly including blood tests and a digital rectal exam.
More insight will be given by your health care provider on PSA blood test, its indications, and interpretation of results.
