Prostate disease includes inflammation (prostatitis), non-cancerous enlargement (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH), and prostate cancer, which are all common, particularly in older men. Symptoms can overlap and include urinary issues like frequent or urgent urination, a weak stream, or pain, and may also involve pain during ej*******on or in the back, hips, or chest. Diagnosis often involves a doctor's examination, and for prostate cancer, screening typically includes a PSA blood test and a digital re**al exam.
Common prostate diseases
Prostatitis: Inflammation of the prostate gland. It is a common urinary condition, especially in men under 50, and can be caused by bacterial infections or other factors.
Acute bacterial prostatitis: Comes on suddenly with severe symptoms.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis: A long-lasting or recurring bacterial infection.
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS): Causes pelvic pain without signs of infection.
Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis: Signs of inflammation but no symptoms.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that is almost universal in aging men.
It can cause blockages in the urethra, leading to symptoms like frequent urination, a weak stream, or needing to wake up often at night.
Prostate Cancer: A common cancer in men over 50, though some grow slowly and may not cause health problems.
Prostatic adenocarcinoma: The most common type, which develops from the gland cells in the prostate.
