Difference Between Prostate Enlargement (BPH) and Prostate Cancer

Both benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer affect the prostate gland.

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that sits below a man’s bladder. 

The prostate wraps around the urethra. 

This is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body.

In both BPH and prostate cancer, the prostate gland gets larger. 

BPH is benign. This means it’s not cancer and it can’t spread.

Prostate cancer can spread to other parts of your body.

Both BPH and prostate cancer are common.

Symptoms of both BPH and prostate cancer include:-

-an urgent need to urinate

-feeling the urge to urinate many times during the day and night

-trouble starting to urinate or having to push to release urine

-weak or dribbling urine stream

-urine flow that stops and starts

-feeling like your bladder is never fully empty
