What is the difference between prostatic adenoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia


Prostatic adenoma is cancer, plain and simple. Benign hyperplasia is simply enlargement of the prostate gland. The latter occurs to most men, if they live long enough. It becomes an issue only if it enlarges to the point that urination becomes difficult.
