There are connections and differences between prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia, so the following are the differences between the two:
Prostatitis is inflammation, and the volume of the prostate may be slightly larger because when inflammation occurs, there may be swelling and congestion. If the prostate fluid is examined, there are white blood cells in it, and there are bacteria growing inside. This is inflammation.
It should be said that the prostate is a very special organ in the human body. We all know that a person, regardless of any organ, has a process from initiation to growth to maturity, and ultimately these organs will atrophy. When they were young, they were 1 or 76 meters tall, but perhaps now they measure 1 or 75 meters tall. Why? The organs of the human body have shrunk to a certain extent. In old age, it doesn't grow and even shrinks a bit.
The prostate gland is a very special organ that can grow from life to age. After birth, it cannot be touched and gradually grows. It continues to grow until the age of 60, 70, and 80. We can see that the size is getting bigger and bigger, and the incidence rate increases with age. Histologically speaking, if we take a piece of material and look at it under a microscope, we can call it prostatic hyperplasia when it grows up, which is easy for everyone to understand. Histological hyperplasia can be seen in 50% of people aged 50, 60% of people aged 60, 70% of people aged 70, and 80% of people aged 80.
