What are the symptoms of recurrence of prostate cancer after surgery

The recurrence of prostate cancer includes biochemical recurrence and clinical recurrence.

Biochemical recurrence refers to the fact that the patient does not have any conscious symptoms, but only shows an increase in prostate cancer-specific antigen, and the increase in prostate cancer-specific antigen > more than 0.25ng/L, indicating the phenomenon of biochemical recurrence, but the patient does not have any symptoms at this time. Clinical recurrence refers to the recurrence of prostate cancer due to the presence of corresponding symptoms, such as hematuria, because the prostate cancer tissue destroys parenchymal cells and produces bleeding after recurrence.

Pain is also an important symptom of prostate cancer recurrence, because the recurrence of prostate cancer destroys the surrounding tissues, resulting in pain in the perineal area. Dysuria is also a symptom of recurrence, and after the recurrence of prostate cancer, it will block the urethral tube, causing the patient to have difficulty urinating, and then have symptoms of difficulty urinating and even urinary retention. Symptoms of metastasis of distant organs, such as sacrococcygeal pain or low back pain, are symptoms of bone metastasis caused by the recurrence of prostate cancer.
