Kidney stones are hard masses that form in the kidneys. They are usually very easy to remove. If you have a kidney stone you can usually drink things that will break them down so you can let them pass through your body. If this does not work you can use lazzors that will break them into dust that you will eventually urinate out.

Prostate CancerProstate cancer is very common in men. The prostate is an organ in the male reproductive system. Most prostate cancers are slow growing, but some may also spread to other parts of the body.

NonGonococcal Urethritis (NGU)

This is an infection of the urethra. NGU is caused by germs and chlamydia. This infection is found in both men and women.
