12. Back pain
Pain is a classic symptom in cancer in general, but it is not a leading symptom in prostate cancer. Male patients should look for and promptly report the urinary symptoms laid down above instead of waiting for the pain to come. It may never show up or start in the early phase of the disease, depending on what part of the prostate is affected and how the disease progresses. Prostate pain can be felt in different areas, including the back or the groin. It sometimes feels like a painful weight in the rectum, especially when filled with feces in a patient with constipation.
