5. Urinary hesitancy
This is a very uncomfortable symptom in males with prostate cancer because they feel the urge to urinate, as mentioned above but have problems starting to urinate once they are in the bathroom. Urinary hesitancy refers to the initial difficulty men experience when they begin to urinate. Once they are in the bathroom, they may take longer than usual to start the urinary stream. In some cases, they need to push very hard to beat the obstruction caused by the prostate. This happens because the prostate is around the urethra and squeezes the urinary tract as it grows.
