individualised care for prostate cancer under the guidance of
Dr. Aditya Sengar (Urologist). From raised PSA levels and
suspicious
MRI findings to confirmed prostate cancer on biopsy, we provide stepwise evaluation
and
treatment plans focused on early detection, cancer control, preservation of urinary
and
sexual function and long-term follow-up.
What is Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer develops when cells in the prostate gland – a
small
gland located below the bladder in men – start growing abnormally and form a
tumour.
Most cases are adenocarcinoma, arising from the glandular
tissue of
the prostate.
In many men, prostate cancer grows slowly and may remain confined to the
prostate
for years. In others, it can be more aggressive and spread beyond the gland to
nearby tissues, lymph nodes or bones if not treated in time.
Early stages may not produce any obvious symptoms and are often picked up by a
raised PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test or an
abnormal
digital rectal examination. With timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment,
many
patients can achieve excellent long-term control or cure of the disease.
Urinary Symptoms & Weak Stream
Men with prostate enlargement or cancer may notice frequent urination,
especially at night, weak or interrupted urine stream, difficulty
starting
urine, dribbling at the end of urination or a feeling of incomplete
emptying. These symptoms can be caused by benign enlargement (BPH) or
cancer, so proper evaluation is important.
Blood in Urine or Semen
Visible or microscopic blood in urine or semen can be a warning sign of
prostate or other urinary tract diseases. Although infections and benign
causes are common, persistent or recurrent bleeding needs detailed
evaluation by a urologist, especially in men above 50 years.
Bone Pain & General Symptoms
In more advanced stages, prostate cancer can spread to bones and other
organs, leading to persistent back, hip or bone pain, weakness, weight
loss or fatigue. These features require urgent attention and thorough
staging to decide the best treatment strategy.
Raised PSA Without Symptoms
Many men have no urinary complaints but are found to have a raised PSA
on
routine health check-ups. A single raised value does not always mean
cancer, but it must be interpreted by a urologist along with age,
prostate
size, examination findings and, when needed, MRI or biopsy to confirm
the
diagnosis.
Causes & Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer
The exact cause of prostate cancer is not fully understood, but several factors
are
known to increase risk:
1. Age – Prostate cancer is more common in men above 50 years,
and
the risk increases further with age.
2. Family History – Having a father, brother or close relative
with
prostate cancer increases your own risk, especially if they were diagnosed at a
younger age.
3. Genetics – Certain inherited gene changes can raise the
tendency
to develop prostate and other cancers.
4. Lifestyle Factors – Obesity, lack of physical activity and
diets
high in processed foods and saturated fats may be associated with increased
risk.
5. Ethnicity & Hormonal Factors – Prostate cancer risk
varies
by ethnicity and is influenced by male hormones (androgens).
Regular check-ups with PSA testing, digital rectal examination and, when
indicated, prostate MRI or biopsy help detect prostate cancer
early, when
it is easier to treat and control.

Frequently Asked Questions About Prostate Cancer Treatment
When should I consult a urologist for possible
prostate cancer?
You should consult a urologist if you are a man above 50 years (or
above
45 years with a family history) and have persistent urinary symptoms
such as weak stream, frequent urination at night, difficulty
starting
urine, or if your PSA on a health check-up is raised. Blood in urine
or
semen, bone pain or unexplained weight loss also warrant urgent
evaluation. Even in the absence of symptoms, periodic screening can
help
detect prostate cancer at an early, more treatable stage.
Is prostate cancer always fast-growing and dangerous?
No. Prostate cancer behaves differently in different individuals.
Many
prostate cancers are slow-growing and may not cause serious problems
for
years, while others can be more aggressive. That is why risk
stratification using PSA, biopsy Gleason score and stage is very
important. Some men may be suitable for active surveillance, whereas
others benefit from early surgery or radiotherapy. Your urologist
will
help you understand the nature of your cancer and the most
appropriate
management.
How long do I need to stay in the hospital for
prostate cancer surgery?
Hospital stay after radical prostatectomy depends on the surgical
approach, your general health and recovery. Many patients stay for a
few
days, during which pain control, mobility and catheter care are
monitored. You will be guided about catheter removal timing, wound
care,
activity restrictions and follow-up visits. Your urologist will
explain
the expected duration of stay and recovery plan before scheduling
the procedure.
Can prostate cancer be cured? What follow-up is
needed?
Many men with localised or early-stage prostate cancer can achieve
excellent long-term control or cure with appropriate treatment such
as
surgery or radiotherapy. Even in more advanced stages, modern
therapies
can significantly slow disease progression and improve quality of
life.
Regular follow-up with PSA tests, clinical reviews and, when
required,
imaging is essential after treatment to detect any recurrence early.
At Swastik Urology Clinic, we create an individualised follow-up
schedule
and support you in long-term care and lifestyle measures.
