Causes, incidence, and risk factors The actual cause of prostate enlargement is unknown. It is believed that factors linked to aging and the testicles themselves may play a role in the growth of the gland. Men who have had their testicles removed at a young age (for example, as a result of testicular cancer) do not develop BPH. Similarly, if the testicles are removed after a man develops BPH, the prostate begins to shrink in size. Some facts about prostate enlargement: The likelihood of developing an enlarged prostate increases with age. BPH is so common that it has been said, "All men will have an enlarged prostate if they live long enough." A small amount of prostate enlargement is present in many men over age 40 and more than 90% of men over age 80. No risk factors have been identified other than having normally functioning testicles

It can be, but it does NOT always mean that you have prostate cancer.Sometimes it is a benign condition, which can be treated with drugs.

Honestly I do'nt know but if in doubt check it out . You are obviously concerned about it . do'nt risk it just bite the bullet & see the doctor then if there is cause concern they can get it early.At lest you are concerned enough to ask then to just wait . They say to women with their breast if they notice changes to check it out . The same should apply to men so plz take care & see your doctor God bless
