Can you get prostate cancer at 18?
Talha F asked:
I am 18 years old, and i have being experiencing difficulties with urinating. For instance, i have to wake up 2 to 3 time in the middle of the night to urinate. When i was reading about it a bit more, i found out you can experience back problems too which in fact is true in my case because my lower back has bin hurting for more than a month now and no signs of improvement. I also have problem while urinating. Is there any more signs that i should look for?

You may have an urinary tract infection, or a kidney infection, not necessarily cancer, even though you can get cancer at any age.
Either way, you really need to see a doctor. Even if it’s just an infection, you will need treatment to get over it.
Check out, a very helpful website to find out about symptoms for about any problem.
I hope you get better really soon.

If this has been going on for a month you should see your doctor. Whilst reading symptoms on the web can give you an idea of what may be wrong it can also cause so much worry thinking have I got this or have I got that. Take a sample of urine to you doctor and he will e#be able to do some simple tests immediately with a test strip and will be able to see if you have an infection etc. Depending on what he finds he will then proceed with either a simple prescription for antibiotics or further tests if this is necessary. Good luck and remember although you can get any type of cancer at any age prostrate cancer affects mainly men over 50 and is more common the older they get.

Prostate cancer is so rare in young men that there are no statistics available for the disease incidence in men under 35.
It’s extremely rare in men under 50; over 80% of men diagnosed with it are over 65 and half of all cases occur in men over 75.
So you almost certainly don’t have prostate cancer.
You need to see your doctor about the symptoms you describe; just because it almost certainly isn’t cancer doesn’t mean it doesn’t ned to be checked out and treated if necessary
