Will benign prostatic hyperplasia turn into prostate cancer?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia generally does not turn into prostate cancer and is a relatively common benign disease.

The mechanisms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer are completely different. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is mainly caused by the hyperplasia of the prostate epithelium or stroma. When the body ages, it may cause benign prostatic hyperplasia, but the chance of benign prostatic hyperplasia developing into prostate cancer is relatively small.

As we age, endocrine dysfunction or imbalance of male hormone levels can induce prostate interstitial or epithelial hyperplasia, leading to an increase in prostate volume and benign prostatic hyperplasia. If the condition is not too serious and there are no obvious symptoms, no special treatment is required and regular hospital check-ups are sufficient. If you experience urination difficulties or increased nocturia or hematuria, you should follow the doctor's advice for surgical treatment.

Prostate cancer is mainly caused by the growth of malignant tumors in the prostate gland, which may be caused by genetic or environmental factors. Patients with prostate cancer need to follow the doctor's advice to undergo surgical resection, regular radiotherapy and chemotherapy of cancer cells, and other means to control the progression of the disease.

To prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer, you need to avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time, do more outdoor exercises, and increase your own resistance.
