How do you easy tell if have prostate cancer i am 14 and want to ask my parents?
Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that affects the prostate gland, which is a small gland located just below the bladder in men. It is not common for people your age to have prostate cancer, so it is unlikely that you have it. However, if you are concerned about any changes in your health, it is always a good idea to talk to your parents or a doctor. They can help you determine if there is anything to be concerned about and can recommend any necessary steps.
Here are some symptoms of prostate cancer to watch out for:
- Difficulty urinating
- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Weak or interrupted urine flow
- Pain or burning during urination
- Pain, stiffness, numbness, or weakness in the back, hips, or thighs
- Blood in the urine or semen
- Unexplained weight loss
- Erectile dysfunction
_However please note most of these symptoms don't just indicate prostate cancer_.If you notice any of these symptoms, it is essential to take an appointment with a doctor. Do not self diagnose as you might put yourself at great risk
