Will prostatitis turn into prostate cancer

Can prostatitis turn into prostate cancer?

Prostatitis generally does not turn into prostate cancer. They are two different diseases.

Prostatitis mainly occurs in the prostate area, usually caused by infection with pathogens, and may also be caused by unclean sexual life and long-term alcoholism. Typical symptoms include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, restlessness, urethral burning pain, etc. When the condition is serious, it may lead to increased secretion of prostatic fluid; prostate cancer mainly occurs in prostate epithelial cells, and the cause is not completely clear, and is related to factors such as genetics and gene changes. It can cause prostate damage, dysuria and painful ejaculation. Prostatitis is a treatable disease. Through effective treatment, lesions generally will not occur, and it will not become prostate cancer.

Patients with prostatitis can take drugs such as tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules, penicillin V potassium tablets, and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride capsules under the guidance of doctors to reduce damage to the prostate after the disease. Patients with prostate cancer need to follow the doctor's advice and undergo surgical treatments such as laparoscopic prostatectomy and traditional prostatectomy. They can also follow the doctor's advice and undergo chemotherapy. The drugs used include platinum injection, paclitaxel injection, cyclophosphamide injection, etc., which are beneficial for controlling tumor growth.
