Burning when urinating.
Pain when urinating.
Acute urinary retention, which makes urination impossible and catheterisation is required.
Haematuria, the urine contains blood.
Impotence.
Blood in their semen.
In advanced stages of the disease and when it is no longer located in the prostate, the patient may have:
