Prostatic hyperplasia is a senile disease, most of which are benign hyperplasia and do not have canceration. It is different from prostate cancer, and patients need not be nervous.
Prostatic hyperplasia is more common in elderly men. Once diagnosed, many people will worry about canceration. In this regard, experts said: "Prostatic hyperplasia is a senile disease, most of which are benign hyperplasia and will not undergo canceration. It is different from prostate cancer, and patients need not be nervous."
Although prostate cancer and prostatic hyperplasia are two different things, their symptoms are similar and related to the age of onset. The early stage of prostate cancer has no symptoms, but in severe cases, frequent urination, urgent urination, and laborious urination will occur. These symptoms are similar to those of benign prostatic hyperplasia. In the late stage of cancer, hematuria, bone metastasis pain, etc. will occur. Moreover, the onset age of prostate cancer is the same as that of benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is mainly concentrated in the elderly.
The method of early detection of prostate cancer is to check the prostate regularly. For this reason, experts suggest that men over 50 years of age need to see urology once a year, and those with BPH should be checked regularly, so as to timely "catch" prostate cancer that may be "mixed" in BPH.
In order to prevent prostatic hyperplasia, the elderly should pay attention not to sit for a long time, ride a bicycle for a long time, etc., to avoid oppressing the prostate; The diet should be light. Meat should be mainly "white meat" such as chicken, duck and fish, and the intake of "red meat" such as pigs, sheep and cattle should be reduced.
