10 Prostate Cancer Symptoms
Symptom #5: Difficulty with an Erection
While many men may find it hard to admit, any difficulty getting or maintaining an erection is a serious issue that should warrant a visit to the doctor as it may be a symptom of prostate cancer. If you notice that your partner is having issues with an erection, empathize and tread delicately around the subject to coax your partner to see a doctor as he will be reluctant.
Issues with erection are not only a symptom of prostate cancer but can be also caused by atherosclerosis (buildup of plaque along the arteries) which leads to diminished blood flow to the penis. However, prostate cancer interferes with both erections and ejaculations.
