Supporting Your Bladder & Bowel HealthProstate Cancer
Prostate cancer usually develops slowly, so there may be no signs for many years.
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).

Your urinary tract includes the parts of your body that make urine and carry it out of your body.
For men, these parts include your kidneys and bladder, as well as your ureters and urethra. If unhealthy bacteria build up anywhere in your urinary tract, this can cause an infection. And while urinary tract infections (UTIs) are much more common in women, men can also get them.
