The prostate is an essential gland in the male reproductive system. It contributes to the semen volume and synthesizes a substance that supports sperm cells. This gland is located below the urinary bladder, surrounding the urethra. In the bladder neck. Thus, as it grows, it can put pressure over the urethra or the urinary bladder. However, what is an enlarged prostate? Is it the same as prostate cancer? An enlarged prostate is simply a gland that increased in size. It is not caused by cancer. Another medical term is benign prostatic enlargement, where benign means there’s no cancer. Another name is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). When we talk about hyperplasia, we refer to an increase in number and not size. Thus, in prostatic hyperplasia, there are more prostate cells. However, they remain the same size as normal prostate tissue. Such an increase in the number of cells causes prostate enlargement. It usually starts in men after the age of 40. But they typically find out when they are near their 50s.
