9) Bone pain that leads to fractures
Prostate cancer can easily metastasize to bone and cause pain and fractures. 60 percent of prostate cancer can develop bone metastasis. Spine, ribs, pelvis, and thigh are major regions of bone metastasis in prostate cancer. The spread of cancer can occur through blood or lymphatic system. After spreading to the bone, massive bone loss, increased risk of fractures and excruciating pain have been reported by patients. High calcium level in the blood and spinal cord compression can also occur due to the spread of cancer to the bones. It is very important to consult the doctor in these circumstances as things can worsen further.
