of cancers in the world. Each and every one of them have their own origin. For example, reproductive cancers which can be in both male and female In men there are multiple types of reproductive cancers.

It is a common cancer in men and can develop in three different ways (Mayo…
accessory glands that contribute to the formation of semen. Discuss each gland including A) name and location, B) contents and role of the fluid produced by each gland, and C) percentage of semen volume contributed by each. Explain how and why the prostate gland causes problems for aging…

Manifestations include: painful menses, pelvic pain and cramping before and during menstruation, lower back, and abdominal pain. Patients may experience pain during or after sex, pain with bowel movements or urination, excessive bleeding, occasional bleeding between periods, and infertility. Patients may also…
Prostate health for men is of large importance in one's life, especially considering that 1 in 3 men are at risk of developing prostate problems. It should also be noted that prostate health issues effect middle aged men as well as the elderly and should not be overlooked. There are many supplements that can be considered for men who are worried about their prostate health. Problems encountered may include difficulty in urination, which may be the first signs of a prostate disease. These…
after ejaculation. The vas deferens is 18 inches long and is attached to the seminal vesicle. 3. Ejaculatory Duct: The ejaculatory duct is formed when the vans deferens merges to the seminal vesicle. This duct passes through the prostate. 4. Prostate Gland: The prostate gland’s main function is to create a…
prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a medical condition characterized by prostate enlargement this results in urinary symptoms such as difficulty passing urine, incomplete bladder emptying, or frequently urinating at night. This condition only affects men as women do not have prostate glands. This condition increases in prevalence with age. Progressive enlargement of the prostate may cause significantly bothersome symptoms and can increase the risk of urinary tract…
S. has a bacterial infection noted to the prostate. This may be secondary to risk factors like, unprotected sexual intercourse, urinary tract infections or other structural issues like benign prostate hyperplasia which often leads to urinary stasis and retention and is represented by fever, rectal and back pain and tenderness of the prostate (Yoon et al., 2012). Mrs. S.’s symptoms of fever, dysuria, and a tender and boggy prostate are representative of acute prostatitis (Dickson, 2013)…
the surrounding normal tissues. The tissues therefore competes with the normal tissues for blood supply of oxygen and nutrients, therefore depriving them these essential elements. For this research, I will talk about the Prostatic carcinoma. The prostate gland is a pear shaped gland, part of the internal male reproductive system. It lies below the bladder enclosing within it the prostatic urethra. The gland is encapsulated and held to the bladder by the Denonvilliers aponeurosis. It produces…

Diseases that affect the nerves or spinal cord (neurological diseases). Emotional factors. What increases the risk? What are the signs or symptoms?…
Introduction: The paper discusses in detail potentially new drugs discovery for prostate cancer disease by exploiting literature-derived knowledge and semantics. Using knowledge discovery methodologies is, recently, getting popular for all types of drastically growing data sources such as medical data. Although the authors argue that their methodology is groundbreaking and it sounds reasonably effective, the methodology could have been more practical and automated by reducing a manual…
