The warning sign of cancer that can appear in the toilet

0

Paying attention to your toilet habits can mean the difference between detecting serious health problems and letting them go unnoticed.

Prostate cancer symptoms need to be addressed as soon as they appear to stop the tumor from growing. Leaving symptoms untreated can lead to the progression of a serious condition. This makes symptom awareness front and center – dysuria should be a wake-up call, Express writes.

The prostate refers to a small gland located in the pelvic area, between the penis and the bladder.

Because symptoms of prostate cancer usually don’t appear until the prostate is large enough to affect the urethra, the first warning signs may appear on the toilet. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the penis.

One of the warning signs of a deadly condition is dysuria. Dysuria is a medical term that refers to a painful or burning sensation during urination. This unpleasant sensation is usually felt most strongly in the urethra or the area around the genitals. As the prostate presses on the tube, you may begin to experience a number of symptoms that manifest in the toilet.

Watchdog signs of prostate cancer include:

• Needing to urinate more frequently (often at night)
• Needing to rush to the toilet
• Difficulty starting to urinate
• Straining or taking too long to urinate
• Weak stream
• Feeling that the bladder has not emptied completely
• Blood in the urine or blood in the semen
