What were your symptoms?
I have been having pain in my groin that goes from just behind my scrotum and all the way to my lower back. I have had kidney stones but this is a different kind of pain.
No trouble starting my urine stream or maintaining it, but when I’m finished, it slows to a trickle.
Any help or insights before I head to the doctor would be great, Thanks
Typically prostate cancer is a slow growing cancer and usually occurs in men over 60, it is rare to occur under 50. The symptoms come on slowly and are the same as BPH. Pain is not a symptom until the disease is advanced and you would have had it for several years. Scrotal pain is not typical of prostate cancer. It sounds more like torsion or a hernia, but you should be examined by a urologist.

Your doctor should be able to diagnose any problems you have with urination but you could ask him to do a PSA if you’re over 45 just in case. An enlarged prostate can cause a rise in the PSA and so will a tumor or cancer but ordinarily men over 45 are more at risk for any of these diseases.
