    Prostate Cancer Treatment in La Crosse

    The prostate is a small walnut-shaped gland in men that produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. It usually grows slowly and initially is confined to the prostate gland, where it may not cause serious harm. However, while some types of prostate cancer grow slowly and may need minimal or even no treatment, other types are aggressive and can spread quickly.

    Symptoms

    Prostate cancer may cause no signs or symptoms in its early stages.

    Prostate cancer that's more advanced may cause signs and symptoms, such as:

    • Trouble urinating
    • Decreased force in the stream of urine
    • Blood in semen
    • Discomfort in the pelvic area
    • Bone pain
    • Erectile dysfunction

    When to make an appointment

    If you have any signs or symptoms that worry you, make an appointment with your healthcare provider right away.
