Most of us would have come across the word ?Prostate? mentioned frequently by medical experts. For those who haven?t heard about it, the Prostate is a male reproductive gland situated at the base of the bladder. Its main objective is to assist in the reproduction process by secreting a fluid called Prostate fluid. While the Prostate gland by and large functions smoothly, as we age, there is every possibility of complications arising in the smooth functioning. Two of the well-known conditions that can affect the prostate glands are Enlarged Prostate and Prostate Cancer. Now, most of us would think that both these conditions are similar but actually, they are different. According to the best urologists in Bangalore associated with United Hospital, both these conditions originate in the Prostate and that?s more or less the only similarity.
