Enlarged Prostate ≠ Prostate Cancer: Understanding the Difference
8/27/2025 • Anshul Garg
Experiencing frequent urination, a weak urine stream, or pelvic discomfort can be alarming — especially with so much awareness around prostate cancer.
An enlarged prostate does NOT mean you have cancer.
In fact, the most common prostate condition in men over 50 is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — a completely non-cancerous condition that can cause significant discomfort but is treatable without surgery.
The Prostate Problem Confusion
The prostate is a small gland that sits just below the bladder. As men age, it’s common for this gland to grow larger. This condition — called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — affects over 40% of Indian men over 50 and up to 80% by age 70.
