What are the symptoms of prostate nodules?

Men are under great pressure in life. Sometimes they have to buy a house, sometimes they have to buy a car, and sometimes they have to find a girlfriend. In short, they are under great pressure in all aspects. If the pressure is too great and cannot be relieved, men will suffer from some serious diseases, including prostate, which may be affected to a certain extent. So, what are the symptoms of prostate nodules?

If the prostate is compared to an egg, then the prostate capsule is the eggshell, the peripheral zone of the prostate is the egg white, and the transitional zone of the prostate is the yolk in the center. Prostatic hyperplasia mainly occurs in the transitional zone in the central area of ​​the prostate, while prostatic cancer mainly occurs in the peripheral zone of the prostate. The two are very different in anatomical location. In addition, prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer are two completely different pathological processes. There is currently no evidence that benign prostatic hyperplasia transforms into prostate cancer.

Prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer can coexist. Don't assume that benign prostate hyperplasia will not cause cancer. A small percentage of prostate cancer (about 10%) occurs in the prostate transitional zone. Therefore, prostate cancer can sometimes be found in specimens after prostate hyperplasia surgery. Therefore, if elderly men have abnormal urination symptoms, they must not take it for granted that it must be prostate hyperplasia. They should go to a regular hospital's urology department for examination to rule out prostate cancer.

The above is the introduction to whether prostate nodules can become cancerous. In short, the possibility of prostate nodules becoming cancerous is very low, but we still cannot underestimate this disease. Once symptoms appear, we need to go to the hospital for relevant examinations and take necessary treatment measures. I hope this article can help everyone.
