There\u2019s no current clinical evidence that having benign prostate hyperplasia will increase your risk of developing or having prostate cancer, and there\u2019s no current evidence that it increases your risk of developing any other type of cancer. \u00a0If you have benign prostate hyperplasia, the condition will have to be treated as a standalone condition by itself, and there are treatments and medications available that control the majority of the symptoms \u2013 and if those don\u2019t work, sometimes surgery <\/a>is given as a possible option to bring the condition under control.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re off the hook: Make regular appointments with your doctor to have yourself checked for cancer, especially if you have a history of cancer in your family, or if you have any of the other risk factors in your life (such as a high-fat, high-sodium diet or high blood pressure) and make sure you catch any risks early on.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
