What is the difference between prostatitis and prostate cancer?

There are many differences between inflammation of the prostate and cancer of the prostate, the more common of which include the following: 1. The patient’s own feelings, that is, the clinical manifestations are different. Inflammation of the prostate may cause patients to experience urinary urgency, frequent urination, incomplete urination, pain and discomfort when defecating, and so on. The prostate cancer is often found during physical examinations. 2. Inflammation of the prostate will not cause hematuria, while cancer of the prostate will lead to hematuria at a later stage. 3. The examination results related to prostate inflammation and cancer will show different, especially the ultrasound and MRI results of the prostate and the tumor index examination results of the prostate. The two diseases are different in terms of treatment and prognosis, but with regular treatment of prostate inflammation, it will not affect the patient.
