10 Prostate Cancer Symptoms

Symptom #9: Urinary Incontinence
If the cancer grows into or invades the bladder or the muscles that function to control urination, it can cause the muscles to be weaker, leading to leakage of urine and inability to hold the urge to pee. You will notice that you may need longer trips to the bathroom as the dribbling can take a while to stop or there may be leakage while you hurry to the bathroom.
Some of the options for managing this issue include using absorbent pads or pants, regularly performing pelvic muscle floor exercises, using a catheter, taking medication (anticholinergics), and more.
