The prostate is a small-sized organ that plays a supporting role in the male genitourinary system. It is a site of two major pathologies in older men: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edhacare.com\/treatments\/cancer\/prostate\">prostate cancer<\/a><\/strong> and enlarged prostate [also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)]. Although they share some similarities, these conditions are distinct and require different diagnosis, treatment, and management approaches. This article is all about the Enlarged Prostate Vs Prostate Cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prostate cancer ranks as one of the most prevalent cancers globally and is a major cause of cancer-related deaths in men in developed nations. BPH is also widespread, impacting around 70% of men over the age of 70. These conditions pose considerable challenges for healthcare systems across various regions, and these issues will escalate in the future because of larger elderly populations in many countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p

Gland?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prostate gland is a small, walnut-shaped organ located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra. The urethra is a tube responsible for carrying urine and semen out of the body. The primary role of the prostate is to produce seminal fluid, which nourishes and transports sperm. However, as men age, the prostate can undergo significant changes that might lead to health issues like BPH or prostate cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_is_an_enlarged_prostate\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is An Enlarged Prostate?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An enlarged prostate is medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a non-cancerous condition characterized by an increase in the size of the prostate gland. BPH is common in older men, with studies indicating that up to 50% of men over 50 and 90% of men over 80 experience symptoms of an enlarged prostate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_are_the_causes_of_enlarged_prostate\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are The Causes of Enlarged Prostate?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exact cause of BPH is not fully understood, but it is linked to hormonal changes that occur with aging. As men grow older, their testosterone levels decrease, leading to a relative increase in estrogen. This hormonal imbalance may stimulate prostate growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_are_the_symptoms_of_enlarged_prostate\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are The Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BPH primarily affects urination due to its impact on the urethra.

Do not hesitate to seek professional advice!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"faqs_frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_can_you_tell_the_difference_between_an_enlarged_prostate_and_prostate_cancer\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Can You Tell The Difference Between An Enlarged Prostate and Prostate Cancer?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An enlarged prostate usually causes urinary symptoms like difficulty urinating or frequent urination but without pain or other systemic signs. Prostate cancer may present with similar symptoms but can also include blood in urine, pain, or weight loss. Diagnosis typically involves a PSA test, physical exam, and imaging.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is_it_okay_to_live_with_an_enlarged_prostate\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is It Okay To Live With An Enlarged Prostate?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, many men live with an enlarged prostate if symptoms are mild. However, severe symptoms like urinary retention or recurrent infections should be addressed with medical treatment or surgery to prevent complications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_causes_an_enlarged_prostate_without_cancer\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Causes An Enlarged Prostate Without Cancer?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An enlarged prostate is caused by hormonal changes as men age, particularly increased dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels. This is a non-cancerous condition and is common in men over 50.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does_a_very_enlarged_prostate_mean_cancer\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does a Very Enlarged Prostate Mean Cancer?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not necessarily. A very enlarged prostate is usually due to BPH, which is benign. However, further evaluation, including PSA levels and a biopsy, may be needed to rule out prostate cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can_a_prostate_be_enlarged_without_cancer\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can A Prostate Be Enlarged Without Cancer?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, prostate enlargement often occurs due to BPH, which is non-cancerous. This condition is common with aging and is unrelated to prostate cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can_an_enlarged_prostate_go_back_to_normal\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can An Enlarged Prostate Go Back To Normal?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An enlarged prostate rarely shrinks to its original size without treatment. Medications or minimally invasive procedures can reduce its size and alleviate symptoms effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to men\u2019s health, the prostate gland often becomes
