Over the course of life, the prostate undergoes a natural growth process. However, in some men, the prostate may become benignly enlarged, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This can lead to problems with urination, as the enlarged prostate may press on the urethra. It is also possible that the prostate can become cancerous, leading to the development of prostate cancer.
It is advisable to undergo regular preventive examinations to detect and treat potential issues early.
Prostate cancer is a malignant disease that originates in the prostate, a small gland in the male reproductive system. The prostate produces some of the sperm. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, especially in older men.
BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) is a benign enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly occurs in older men. It is not cancerous, but prostate enlargement can impair urine flow and lead to problems urinating. BPH affects approximately 50% of men aged 50 and older and more than 80% of men over 70.
