There are many signs of prostate cancer that are obvious.
And there are also a few that are not so obvious (that are usually mistaken for BPH or prostatitis).
Below is one sign that often slips through the cracks.
Check this out: There was a guy who had some troubles with his legs, but kept putting off getting checked out.
He had always worked out a lot, and had spent 30 years doing heavy labor as a job.
And because of that, nobody (especially himself) thought anything of his swollen legs.
He did, however, have some other problems, too, with going pee -- including a weak stream, and just general problems getting started.
He had no idea he could be experiencing signs of prostate cancer.
It was the furthest thing from his mind.
Instead, he thought maybe it was just an enlarged prostate at worst.
Millions of men have the condition.
And the TV commercials did a good job of educating him.
Luckily, he went to get check out.
Most guys don't (who wants to go in for a prostate exam?).
But he figured he might as well and did.
And it turned out he didn't have BPH or prostatitis or anything like that: He had prostate cancer! And, it was getting pretty advanced, too.
Fortunately for him, it had not spread and they were able to take care of it.
But the message is clear: Not all signs of prostate cancer are the obvious ones having to do with urinating or sexual problems.
And by ignoring your overall health, aches and pains, you could be setting yourself up for serious pain, illness or even death.
