One man dies of prostate cancer every 45/60 minutes in the UK (or in Europe in general)

Signs and symptoms of prostate cancer – early warnings to look out for

Following news that prostate cancer is officially a bigger killer than breast cancer, we reckon it’s time to go over the signs and symptoms of the disease – and to encourage every man to get checked out.

It’s a huge issue that we can’t stay silent about. The earlier you’re diagnosed with prostate cancer the more likely treatment is to be effective.

So it’s crucial to get over any embarrassment or squeamishness around the prostate and brave the doctor if you feel something’s wrong. Prostate cancer doesn’t usually cause any symptoms until the cancer has grown large enough to put pressure on the urethra, which leads to issues with urination.

The main things to watch out for when it comes to prostate cancer are difficulties with urination. Symptoms include needing to urinate more frequently, difficulty in starting to wee, straining or taking a long time when weeing, a weak flow of urine, feeling that your bladder has not emptied fully, and feeling like you need to rush to the toilet.

There can also be blood in the urine or a loss of bladder control. Signs of prostate cancer: Needing to urinate more frequently, often during the night Needing to rush to the toilet

Difficulty in starting to urinate

Straining or taking a long time while urinating

A weak flow of urine Feeling that your bladder has not emptied fully Dribbling urine after you’ve finished weeing If the cancer spreads beyond the prostate, symptoms become more noticeable.

You may see blood in the semen, erectile dysfunction, painful ejaculation, swelling in the pelvic area, numbness in the hips, legs, or feet, unexplained weight loss, and pain in the testicles. Signs prostate cancer may have spread: Back pain, hip pain or pelvis pain

Problems getting or keeping an erection Blood in the urine or semen Unexplained weight loss. Loss of appetite Pain in the testicles Swelling in the pelvic area The issue with many of these symptoms is that men can have a tendency to ignore them, thinking they’re just standard parts of getting older or feeling too embarrassed to bring them up with a professional.

Euro (-0.19%) vs. US-Dollar at $1.2487 Near Resistance around $1.2525-area  //  January US Payrolls due at 14:30 hrs on Friday;

Preview: January Jobs Report; Analysts are expecting again a softer showing in January.

The US is expected to have created some 175.000 jobs, a better reading from versus last month’s disappointing 148.000. The unemployment rate is expected to remain at 4.1%, the lowest level since February 2001.

With labor market fundamentals seemingly solid; “Employment growth disappointed at the end of last year, but the 148.000 gain in nonfarm payrolls in December wasn’t far below the gradual downward trend over the last three years.

That trend will probably continue in 2018, but with the labour force rising by only 65/70.000 per month on average over the last 12 months, it won’t prevent the unemployment rate from falling further.

Nothing will get as much attention as the average hourly earnings print for renewed signs of wage inflation: it is expected to increase 0.3% (unch) month-over-month and 2.6% year-over-year (up from 2.5% in Dec.), as unfavorable calendar effects are partially offset by a modest expected boost from minimum wage hikes.

For now, an allegedly tightening labour market hasn’t put any significant upward pressure on average hourly earnings, and analysts are expecting a softer showing in January.

However, core inflation has begun to tick up, and analysts are confident that wages will soon follow. In its latest statement (31/Jan), the FOMC noted that “market-based measures of inflation compensation have increased in recent months but remain low; survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations are little changed, on balance.”

Euro Spikes! US-Dollar Unloved! The Trump factor weighs?

Euro Spikes! US-Dollar Unloved!

The Trump factor weighs? It's remarkable how the US-Dollar remains depressed and unloved, despite the US Federal Reserve expressing optimism over increased inflationary pressures as the year moves on.

Euro (+0.75%) vs. US-Dollar at $1.2509

The US-Dollar stumbled also on Thursday despite mounting expectations that the US Federal Reserve will speed up interest rate hikes this year.

After Janet Yellen's final meeting as Fed governor, the US central bank's policy board said on Wednesday that while the nation's inflation remains below target, it expects it to move up this year.

The Fed's comments provided a partial boost for the US-Dollar, although it stumbled during European trading hours.

Even though the central bank made it clear that they see inflation moving higher this year the US currency failed to capitalise

The greenback is still under pressure against most of its peers as central banks around the world look to tighten monetary policy more in line with the US.
