A member asked:
How can you distinguish between prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't: for the most part, prostate cancer has no real symptoms. Many people with benign enlargement of the prostate develop prostate cancer and many people without enlargement of the prostate also develop prostate cancer. your best defense is to see a urologist and have annual examination and PSA screening.
