Multiple phases occurring in a Bose gas with finite-range interaction are investigated. In the vicinity of the onset of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) the chemical potential and the pressure show a van-der-Waals like behavior indicating a first-order phase transition although there is no long-range attraction. Furthermore the equation of state becomes multivalued near the BEC transition. For weak interactions described by a hard-sphere (Hartree-Fock) or Popov (Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov) approximation such a multivalued region can be avoided by the Maxwell construction. However, for strong interaction described by the many-body T-matrix there remains a multivalued region even after a Maxwell construction which is interpreted as a density hysteresis. This unified treatment becomes possible due to the recently found scheme to eliminate self-interaction in the T-matrix approximation which allows to calculate properties below and above the critical temperature.
