The occurrence of kidney stones is an unfortunately common condition. Anybody who has experienced it can testify that it is excruciatingly painful. In fact, it is said that the pain caused by a kidney stone is only second to that of childbirth.
Kidney stones are solid pieces of material which form when minerals in the kidneys become very concentrated. Often, patients might pass out small stones without even knowing it but the large ones can block the urinary tract and cause immense pain. Kidney stone pain can be extremely painful and can interfere with your daily life.
While they are common, nobody has been able to exactly pinpoint the cause of kidney stones. There are a host of conditions which seem to contribute to their formation ranging from genetic factors to low intake of water to urinary tract infections and so on. It is clear that diet and lifestyle also have an impact but the exact nature and correlation are not entirely clear.
Kidney stone treatments vary from vast intake of fluids to medications to lithotripsy (shock waves) to laparoscopic surgery.
This is the condition wherein a man is unable to attain and maintain an erection which is firm enough for sexual intercourse. While the occasional trouble with erection is not a cause for concern, it needs to be investigated if it is an ongoing problem. It can erode self-confidence, lead to relationship trouble, increase stress and, far worse, could be the indicator of a worse underlying health condition.
The process of male arousal is extremely complex, involving the brain, emotions, hormones, nervous system, muscles, blood vessels and so on. A problem with any of these may result in it. There are also psychological issues which can cause it. Some of the common causes of erectile dysfunction include heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, alcoholism, use of tobacco, prescription medications, depression, anxiety and so on. Treatment can vary from medication to psychiatric therapy to injections, blood vessel surgery and surgical penile implants.
When cells in the bladder start to grow out of control, this is called bladder cancer. The bladder is a hollow organ in the lower part of the belly that looks like a balloon. It is where urine is stored.
The muscle wall of the bladder lets it get bigger to hold urine made by the kidneys and smaller to force urine out of the body. Each side of the backbone, above the waist, there is a kidney. The kidneys and bladder work together to get rid of waste and toxins in the body through pee.
Although there are various symptoms of bladder cancer the most common ones include pain while urinating and spotting blood in the urine. Seeking immediate
bladder cancer treatment is important to have a complete recovery.
Kidney cancer is when cells in your kidney tissue grow in a way that doesn't make sense. Over time, these cells grow together into a mass called a tumor. People between the ages of 65 and 74 are most likely to get kidney cancer. Men are two times more likely to get the disease than women.
There are different types of kidney cancers like Transitional cell cancer, Renal cell carcinoma, Wilms tumor and Renal sarcoma.

Cancer that starts in the prostate is referred to as prostate cancer. The prostate is a small gland in men that looks like a walnut. It makes the seminal fluid that feeds and moves sperm.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly reported cancer. Many prostate cancers grow slowly and stay in the prostate gland, where they might not do too much damage. But some kinds of prostate cancer grow slowly and may not need much or any treatment at all. Other types, on the other hand, are aggressive and can spread quickly.
Early detection plays a major role in
prostate cancer treatment as it would help quicker recovery.
