What are Prostate Cancer and BPH?
The prostate is a small gland located just below the bladder in men, playing a vital role in reproductive health. Over time, the prostate can develop conditions that affect quality of life and overall health — the two most common being prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Prostate Cancer is the abnormal growth of cells within the prostate gland. It is one of the most common cancers among men but often grows slowly. Early detection is critical; when found early, prostate cancer is highly treatable and carries an excellent prognosis.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. As men age, the prostate can grow and press against the urethra, leading to urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, or a weak urine stream. Although BPH is not cancer, it can significantly impact daily comfort and requires effective management.
