Benign vs Malignant Prostate Disease – Understanding the Difference in Lahore

Many men in Lahore are alarmed when they hear they have "prostate problems" — but not all prostate conditions are cancer. Dr. Muhammad Arsalan Butt helps patients at his Johar Town and Bahria Town clinics understand the difference between benign and malignant prostate disease and choose the most appropriate management.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — Not Cancer

BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that is extremely common in men over 50. It causes urinary symptoms but does not spread or threaten life. BPH is a separate entity from prostate cancer — having BPH does not increase the risk of developing prostate cancer. Both can coexist, however, which is why proper evaluation with PSA and digital rectal exam is essential.

Prostate Cancer — The Importance of Early Detection

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor arising from prostate tissue. In its early stages it is often silent — no symptoms. As it grows it can cause voiding symptoms, bone pain, or haematuria. Early detection with PSA testing allows treatment at a curable stage. Dr. Muhammad Arsalan Butt recommends PSA screening for men over 45 at his Lahore clinics.

How Dr. Arsalan Differentiates BPH from Cancer

PSA value and kinetics (how fast it is rising), clinical examination findings, prostate volume on ultrasound, and MRI fusion biopsy when indicated help characterize whether a patient's prostate problem is benign or malignant. Dr. Arsalan coordinates prostate MRI and biopsy referral at his Johar Town and Bahria Town clinics.
