Symptoms to look out?
What are the general symptoms to look out for to suggest there is a prostate issue?

Re: Symptoms to look out?
Lower urinary tract symptoms can be divided into storage (can't start, can't go and can't finish- hesitancy, slow flow and dribbling/incomplete emptying) and voiding (frequency, urgency, and nocturia-night-time voiding).
The former are usually due to an enlarged prostate (BPH), the latter either BPH or primary bladder problems
Prostate cancer rarely causes many specific symptoms until it is quite advanced.
