Prostate Cancer Surgery
Prostate cancer is a very common form of disease found generally in older men. It happens when the cancer cells start forming in the tissues of Prostate Gland. It is a slow growing cancer but it can spread further through blood, tissue or lymph system.
People sometimes misunderstood the symptoms of Prostate cancer with the symptoms of other urinary tract problems. The major reason being that as the cancer grows it lays pressure on urethra which further creates other problems.
