Finding blood in the urine may be an early sign of prostate cancer
A recent study found that finding blood in the urine may be an early sign of prostate cancer.
According to Express.co.uk, blood clearly visible in urine is called hematuria, and can turn into pink, red.
If you notice blood in your urine, you should see your doctor right away, the study says. However, this is not certain that you will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Other signs of prostate cancer include taking a long time to urinate or have a very weak urine flow.
People may also feel the urge to urinate more, or feel like the bladder is not empty after urinating.
Difficulties in maintaining an erection can also be a sign of prostate cancer, including 40,000 new cases diagnosed in the UK each year.
The cause of prostate cancer is largely unknown. However, the risk of developing the disease increases when people grow up.
Prostate cancer grows very slowly, and people can live without symptoms or without treatment for decades.
Cancer can be removed through surgery, and it can be treated with radiation therapy, or hormone therapy.
