It can be discovered through tests, but if a man does not have any symptoms, it’s unlikely they would get checked.
One of the aims of the campaign is to increase awareness in men of their risk so, if they are at higher risk, they get checked.
Symptoms of prostate cancer include difficulty starting to urinate or emptying the bladder, a weak flow of urine, a feeling that the bladder hasn’t emptied properly, dribbling urine post urination, needing to pee more than usual, especially at night, and a sudden need to urinate.
Prostate Cancer UK says that if the cancer spreads to other areas of the body it can lead to pain in the back, hip, or pelvis.
