What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Prostrate Cancer?

I need to know the symptoms of Prostrate Cancer. I am 68 years old and have been on testosterone therapy (by injection 220 mgs every 14 days for a little over a year) at the end of 2014 my PSA was 1.5. In early February this year it was 2.1 and it is now 2.5. I am informed I am still within normal limits but quick jumps in the PSA such as this spell possible trouble. What do you think?

Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.

* As per my surgical experience, the cancer prostate manifest in
various clinical concerns as

- dysuria, hesitation, urgency, frequency ( depending upon the internal
sphincter involvement )
- recurrent fever and urinary tract infection
- hematuria
- weight loss and anorexia
- swelling legs and red renal function tests when involvement of
ureter and kidneys via ascending spread
- lower back ache ( through spinal metastasis )
- others

* With the narrated reports of serum PSA, there is no threat of cancer
prostate as usually it ranges above 50 for such cases.

Thanks.
Take care.
