Painless difficulty to empty bladder and abdominal pain.

I've been facing this problem since past 5 months. Difficulty to empty my bladder but no pain at all. The flow of my urine is also fine. At first I thought it was UTI but the doctor confirmed that I am not having UTI. No kidney stones found from the x-ray. During this 5 months period, I had random abdominal (stomach) cramps several times. Can these sympotms be signs to prostate cancer?

    Did you tell us your age?

    My understanding is that Benign Enlargement is generally an older man's problem and your symptoms could be caused by BPE / BPH, but if you are under 50, say, other explanations need to be thoroughly invesigated. I found I had cancer long before any symptoms and all my peeing problems are down to BPE, not the cancer. Are you peeing blood? Do you have normal ejaculation and seminal emission? I hope you are having a thorough discussion with your doctor about these signs and possible symptoms. It's risky in my view to ask us to diagnose you, I believe the usefulness of this forum is sharing experiences, although I can understand your anxiety that you could be seriously ill with cancer and I would be among the first to want to help and support you with that anxiety. Wishing you the very best in your search for answers.

      I'm sorry that I forgot to mention my age. I am 22 btw. No blood or anything suspicious from my urine. I told my doctor about all my symptoms but due to massive queue of the government hospital, I have to wait for 4 months for another session so that they can perform ultrasound on me.

      According to Wikepedia, Malaysia's Health-care system is pretty good, but it must depend a lot whether you are near a good consultant / hospital facility and whether you can pay, as I understand you have both basic state health and private? I'm assuming you are like me and dependent on the state system - Mine being NHS UK

      Yup Im depending on the state system and that is why it is pretty slow. So from your writing above, I can conclude that you had cancer before?

      Still have - it is not growing and doesn't need treatment. I'm living with it and not dying from it!

    Waiting for tests is one of the worst aspects of all this. However, in a way it can be a reassurance. In my experience if the doctors believe there could be someting like cancer causing your symptoms, they test you quickly!

      in that case, does that mean the doctor didnt suspect anything related to cancer but just something unknown or they are not familiar with? sorry about my curiosity.. i keep thinking about it since past 2 weeks..
