Scary Lower Back Pain - One Symptom of Prostate Cancer is Lower Back Ache

Sure we all experience lower back pain. This especially happens when we sit for a long period of time. However, there are some lower back pains that are more dangerous than we think.
This is because the lower back region is also the host for the prostate gland. A lower back pain may be due to prostate cancer in that case.

It may be due to prostate swelling or cancer that is why you have persistent lower back pains.
