Common Problems with the Prostate
Prostate Enlargement:
Also known as prostatic hyperplasia, prostate enlargement is a condition in which the prostate becomes enlarged and can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as difficulty urinating, a decreased flow of urination, hesitation at the beginning of urination, and a need to get up at night to urinate. Unlike prostate cancer, prostate enlargement can not spread across your body.
Prostate Cancer:
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. This type of cancer begins when cells in the prostate gland start to grow out of control. Since it is cancerous, it can spread to other parts of the body.
Doctors believe lifestyle, diet, environment, and heredity all play a role in developing this type of cancer, but the exact cause still remains a mystery. The good news is that when prostate cancer is detected early, while it’s confined to the prostate gland, cancer often responds successfully to treatment.
