    1. Thanks Priyanka for showing your interest in my blog article. If your grandfather is having some symptoms based on prostate cancer, then It can be or cannot be a prostate cancer problem. You should immediately consult with a urologist and if the report came positive, then start the treatment so that he cannot suffer from prostate cancer for a long time.

  2. As I know that most of the problem starts from the stomach. If we do not take proper diet or do not have control over eating, we can also suffer from other urological problems.
    Is it possible that a person who is suffering from kidney stone can also suffer from the prostate problem? Because some symptoms of prostate like trouble in urinating, blood in urine, pain in the lower back are also the symptoms of kidney stone. Can you explain about it? It would be very helpful for me.

  3. Yes, there are possibilities that prostate cancer and kidney stone can happen at same time. But there are also some differences in both the problems. In kidney stone problem, the stone blocks the flow of urine and due to this sometimes blood also come with urine. But one other hand, the flow of urine is blocked when prostate gland starts spreading.
    Their symptoms’ effect is very much different from each other. We can not surely say that these symptoms are of kidney stone of prostate problem. A person should contact with the urologist if he/she is facing any kind of these problems.
