Specialist breaks down 7 warning signs you should never ignore amid Joe Biden’s ‘aggr.ssive’ ca.cer diagnosis
A prostate cancer specialist has highlighted seven key symptoms to watch for, following Joe Biden’s recent diagnosis of an aggressive form of the disease. Six of these signs relate to urinary habits, including frequent urination (especially at night), difficulty starting or stopping urine flow, a weak stream, and a persistent feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. Blood in urine or semen and erectile dysfunction are also potential red flags. While these symptoms can stem from other conditions, consulting a doctor is crucial for early detection.
Professor Hashim Ahmed, a urological surgeon, emphasized that while many symptoms may be temporary or benign, they shouldn’t be ignored. Advanced prostate cancer can also cause bone pain, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. Biden’s diagnosis—with a high Gleason score of 9—underscores the importance of awareness, as aggressive forms can spread quickly. The American Cancer Society offers support at 1-800-227-2345 for those concerned about prostate health.
