Cancer Symptoms Men Might Miss

Many men might be hesitant to report persistent pain, thinking that they should just “weather the storm.” However, chronic pain is certainly not a symptom to downplay. Depending on the location, persistent pain may be a sign of certain cancers. For example, prostate cancer can lead to pain in the lower back and hips, while lung cancer can cause chest pain. More often than not, pain is caused by another condition, but some painful conditions — like heart disease or multiple sclerosis — can be serious. Don’t be afraid to talk to your doctor if any pain affects your quality of life.
