“A painful or burning sensation during urination or ejaculation, as well as blood in semen and urine could also indicate that a person has prostate cancer.”
How do you check for prostate cancer?
In the UK, there is no national screening programme for prostate cancer.
But if there are signs that you may have it, your doctor will perform several tests to check for prostate cancer.
“Your doctor will ask for a urine sample to rule out infection and a blood sample to check for levels of a protein called prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which is often raised by prostate cancer,” Mr Doherty said.
