Erectile Difficulties and Prostate Cancer:

• Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be a symptom of prostate cancer, especially if the cancer affects nerves or blood flow.
• However, ED is more commonly due to other factors like stress, hormonal changes, or cardiovascular issues.

Other Symptoms to Watch For:

• Difficulty urinating or weak urine stream.
• Frequent urination, especially at night.
• Blood in urine or semen.
• Pain in the lower back, hips, or pelvis.

Recommendation:

• Consult a healthcare professional if you experience persistent erectile difficulties or urinary symptoms.
• They may perform evaluations such as a physical exam, PSA blood test, or imaging.

Note:

• Many causes of erectile difficulties are treatable.
• Early evaluation can help address underlying issues effectively.
