What is Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer only affects men. It starts as a cancerous cell in or around the walnut-shaped prostate gland positioned below the urinary bladder and just in front of the rectum, adjacent to the urethra. The prostate’s main task is to create the seminal fluid needed by the sperm to produce the semen that is ejaculated through the act of sex. The gland is cardinal to every man, develops before birth, and expands as the man becomes older by the aid of androgen. For some, the prostate continues to expand in size creating a condition referred to as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), which applies pressure on the urethra causing difficulty during urination. BPH is not a type of cancer and should not be a cause of alarm.

Treatment of Prostate Cancer
One of the most common cancers that afflict American men today is prostate cancer, especially men who reach the age of 50 and over. An estimated one of every four men will most likely develop a cancerous cell in their prostate gland. The ratio increases to one of every two men as he grows older.

What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a state that distresses the prostate gland located in the middle of the urethra and the bladder. Each year added to a man’s age causes the prostate to grow larger in size. As it enlarges it applies pressure on the urethra causing the flow of urine to be less forceful than what is expected. Take a closer look at the word “benign” which suggests that this condition it is not a result of cancer or any other infection. The word “hyperplasia” on the other hand means enlargement. There are two ways by which a prostate may enlarge. The first is by the growth of cells in locations surrounding the urethra thus causing a part to be squeezed. The second manner is middle-lobe prostate growth which is a condition when growth takes place inside the bladder and urethra often resulting in surgery.
