Every year there are almost <\/span>200,000 new cases<\/span><\/a> of Prostate Cancer in the United States. If that statistic doesn\u2019t shock you, 1 out of every 9 males in the United States will at some point in their life have Prostate Cancer. The good news is that it has a survival rate of 83% chance of survival. The chances of surviving are higher if the cancer is caught earlier and the chances of surviving are lower if the cancer is caught in a later stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a list of early signs and symptoms broken into multiple categories. Before we get into this list, just know that some of the symptoms can be symptoms of other problems with the prostate or sexual transmitted diesease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        If you see any of these signs or symptoms this is time to go get a check up. Even though these signs could be symptoms of other diseases or problems, it still needs to be checked. If you don\u2019t have these symptoms it’s recommended that you at least get a prostate exam every year. Yes, prostate exams are known for their awkwardness and uncomfortability but it could be the difference between surviving from the cancer or dying from the cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
