Patient's question:
I also don't know why I developed benign prostatic hyperplasia at such a young age. The symptoms of frequent urination and incomplete urination persisted for a while, troubling my life. Later, I went to the hospital for treatment, and now I have basically fully recovered. Recently, I heard that benign prostatic hyperplasia may develop into prostate cancer, and I'm very nervous.Doctor's answer:
Some men worry that chronic prostatitis will transform into prostate cancer, but there is really no need to. Because they are two completely different diseases. The prerequisite for a recurrence of prostate cancer is three factors: being male, aging, and androgen stimulation. According to clinical diagnosis, chronic prostatitis has the characteristics of high incidence in young adults, not interfering with the function of testicular excretion of androgens, and hormone decomposition metabolism. It can be concluded that chronic prostatitis generally will not cause prostate cancer patients to face prostatitis interference directly. We should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and should not avoid seeking medical attention or treatment plans.
