DISEASE
Testicular
cancer: -
Cancer is a group of diseases in which malignant (harmful) cells
grow out of control and spread to other parts of the body. Testicular
cancer occurs when a tumor (abnormal over growth of cells) forms
within one of the testicles. Testicular cancer is very rare &
is seen in less than 1% of the population. Usually it is seen
in young men. A lump or swelling in one of the testicles. Possible
local pain, tenderness, or lower back pain some times a feeling
of heaviness in a testicles. Modern doctors still do not know
what cause testicular cancer. It occurs most frequently in young
men between the ages of 15 & 35. Men whose testicles have not
descended or dropped have a greater risk of getting testicular
cancer. The best way to identify testicular cancer is self-examination
done once every month after taking bath. If during the self-examination
you feel a hard lump on the testicle than you have consult a competent
physician. If treated in its early stages, nearly 100% of testicular
cancer cases are cured. Unani herbal treatment helps you to cure
successfully.
Venereal diseases
or STD: -
Syphilis and gonorrhoea apart, the most common is nonspecific
urethritis, often due to a germ, chlamydia. Despite treatment,
complications can occur in eyes and joints.
NSU:
-
This is called as specific urethritis or nonspecific genital infections.
Any inflammation of the urethra (outlet from the bladder) in which
have been excluded such diseases as gonorrhoea, syphilis and infection
by larger germs such as trichomonas and monilia (thrush).
It is now the commonest venereal disease in the U.K. symptoms
may include pain on passing water, soreness of the parts & discharge,
but are milder than in gonorrhoea. About 50% of NSU cases are
thought to be caused by a virus like germ called chlamydia. Unfortunately
chlamydia can cause serious infection in the eyes of newborn babies,
as can gonorrhoea
Syphilis: -
After 'AIDS',this is the most serious of the sexually transmitted
diseases i.e. diseases spread by sexual contact, due to a specific
germ, a spirochete. The disease can be divided into well-marked
stages. The incubation period is usually four to five weeks but
may vary between 10 & 90 days. The first symptom (primary stage)
is a small painless spot at the site of infection, usually the
genitals but very occasionally else where such as the lips. This
spot breaks down into an ulcer or small sore, oozing serum, which
is highly infective; and the glands in the neighborhood often
become a little swollen. The severity of this sore, or chancre
is variable; and it may be small and only temporary. From the
site of infection the spirochete passes into the blood & is distributed
through out the body. This is the secondary stage. Usually there
is a generalized rash, which develop three or four weeks after
the change and the glands in the other parts of the body may enlarge.
The rash takes different forms, and may be associated with ulcers
in the mouth and some falling of the hair. From the second stage
the disease passes into the third, in which deep, painless ulcers,
known as Gummata, may form in various internal organs & skin.
In the late stages the nervous system is particularly liable to
be attached. There may be a slow paralysis in which walking becomes
more & unsteady due to degeneration of the spinal cord. In some
other cases the brain is affected, and there is a generalized
paralysis together with progressive mental impairment.
Practically no organ in the body is immune, in the late stages
of untreated syphilis. The heart may be damaged, the liver affected
and vision lost. The course of the disease is slow and symptoms
involving the nervous system may develop twenty or more years
after the original infection. Syphilis can be cured and early
treatment is essential. It is dangerous & extremely foolish to
stop treatment before your physician is satisfied that it has
been sufficient.
Gonorrhoea:
-
This is also spread by sexual intercourse. It is due to a germ,
the gonococcus, which invades the sex organ and sets up inflammation.
In the male, symptoms usually commence about four days to a week
after intercourse, and there is sometimes some pain on passing
urine, and may be yellowish discharge from the penis. Gonorrhoea
can be rapidly cured but treatment should be started early to
ensure the best results. Neglected gonorrhoea can have serious
consequences. It will cause a cute arthritis. To neglect symptoms
or try to treat oneself by on the counter remedies is to store
up trouble for the future not only for oneself but also for others
that may become infected.
Orchitis: -
Inflammation of the testes, the male sex glands. It usually results
from an attack by germs & may occur as a complication of mumps.
Another cause is gonorrhoea the symptoms are pain & swelling in
the testes, and if these occurs there should be no time lost in
seeking the advice of a physician.
