Benign Prostate Problems
There are clinical conditions of the prostate gland that are not cancer, including the following:
- Prostatism – any condition of the prostate that causes interference with the flow of urine from the bladder.
- Prostatitis – an inflamed condition of the prostate gland that may be accompanied by discomfort, pain, frequent or infrequent urination, and, sometimes, fever.
- Prostatalgia – pain in the prostate gland.
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (Also called BPH or benign prostatic hypertrophy.) – a specific term that defines the condition of an enlarged prostate. BPH is the most common non-cancerous prostate problem. It can cause discomfort and problems urinating. Although it is not cancer, BPH symptoms are often similar to those of prostate cancer.
- Impotence (Also called erectile dysfunction.) – the inability to achieve or maintain an erection.
- Urinary incontinence – the loss of bladder control.
