Prostate Screening Test
The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test screens men who don’t have symptoms as a preventive measure. Talk to your primary care doctor (PCP) about your risk factors and when you should begin screening for prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer Symptoms & Diagnosis
You may notice prostate changes that are common symptoms of cancerous and non-cancerous prostate conditions—benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatitis. If you have any of the following symptoms, see your PCP:
- Back, hip, or pelvis pain
- Blood in urine or semen
- Pain or burning when urinating
- Painful ejaculation
- Problems urinating
- Urgent need to urinate
If your doctor suspects prostate cancer, you may have tests to verify it and see how advanced it is (staging). Detecting prostate cancer early can make it easier to treat and cure.
