Stating that prostate gland enlargement gradually begins to show symptoms starting from the age of 40, Yüzgeç said that the disease can occur with similar symptoms regardless of whether it is benign or malignant.

Dr. stated that complaints such as frequent urination, waking up to urinate at night, interrupted or interrupted urination, and inability to fully void urine should be taken into consideration. Yüzgeç stated that timely diagnosis of malignant growths saves lives.

"IT CAN BE DETECTED IN THE EARLY STAGE BY CHANCE OR DURING CONTROLS"

Stating that in the first stage, the cancerous tissue has not yet spread beyond the prostate gland, Yüzgeç said, "At this stage, prostate cancer can only be detected by chance or in patients who have regular check-ups. The important thing is to catch the patients at this stage. This is possible by coming for urological check-ups at least once a year."

"IT IS DIFFICULT TO RECOVER THE PATIENT IN THE LATER STAGE"

Yüzgeç emphasized that if the disease reaches the fourth stage, cancer cells go out of the organ and metastasize mostly to the bones, and stated that patients at this stage experience severe pain and their clinical picture worsens.

Dr. noted that in cases of suspicion due to high PSA values ​​in blood tests, advanced examination and biopsy processes are performed. Yüzgeç called for regular check-ups, saying, "We recommend that men, whether they are sick or not, have prostate tests after the age of 50, especially every 6 months, and if they cannot come, at least once a year."
