The third most common cancer amongst men in Singapore, prostate cancer is an abnormal growth of tissue in the prostate. While most prostate cancers grow slowly, the cancer cells may sometimes spread to other parts of the body.
Symptoms of prostate cancer may appear similar to BPH, but complications include a burning or painful sensation while passing urine and the presence of blood in urine or semen, erectile dysfunction, weight loss, as well as pelvic, back or hip pain.
Minimally invasive surgical treatments such as a robotic radial prostatectomy can help patients overcome prostate cancer and regain control of their health. It works by removing the affected prostate gland with greater precision over traditional open surgery. Benefits include less operative pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster ability to regain urinary control and sexual ability.
