Prostate cancer symptoms: The strength of your pee could be a warning sign

Prostate cancer develops when cancerous cells in the prostate – a small walnut-shaped gland in males – start to multiply uncontrollably. It usually develops slowly, so there may be no signs for many years. In fact, “symptoms of prostate cancer do not usually appear until the prostate is large enough to affect the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the penis (urethra)”, explains the NHS.

Am I at risk?

The cause of prostate enlargement is unknown, but it has been linked to a number of risk factors.

Having a risk factor doesn’t mean that you will definitely develop prostate cancer.
