Ignoring These 10 Signs Could Lead to Late Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

10. Bone Pain

Many men experience bone pain in the advanced stages of prostate cancer. Most describe it as a dull, deep pain, similar to a toothache, that occurs in the back, hips, ribs, or groin. This usually indicates that cancer has spread to the bones, a condition called bone metastases. This can cause severe pain and bone fractures. Doctors usually prescribe pain medications and radiation therapy to treat the condition. Prescription medication to prevent bone fragility can help prevent fractures.
