Prostate cancer is the second most typical cancer in men following skin cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that roughly one in every eight men will get prostate cancer. But the disease discriminates: it impacts non-Hispanic Black men disproportionately, especially among older ages.
Men’s bladder or prostate-related disorders are a naturally occurring part of getting older. Some of these signs and symptoms include being incapable to begin or pause urinating, constant urination, an ongoing urge to pee, etc. These issues may manifest into prostate cancer if not looked at.
