- FibromyalgiaChronic interstitial cystitis (IC) is severe, inflammation of the bladder wall. And, while there is much research, the cause is still unknown. Affecting both men and women, interstitial cystitis is more common in women. People with a history of migraines, fibromyalgia, and allergies seem to be more prone to IC, and symptoms of the condition may start as early as teenage or young adult years. Without treatment, it can manifest into unrelenting pain and urinary frequency. Early treatment is often much more effective than later treatment in terms of this condition.

- Bladder CancerBladder cancer is a type of cancer that begins in your bladder — a balloon-shaped organ in your pelvic area that stores urine. Bladder cancer begins most often in the cells that line the inside of the bladder. Bladder cancer typically affects older adults, though it can occur at any age. The great majority of bladder cancers are diagnosed at an early stage — when bladder cancer is highly treatable. However, even early-stage bladder cancer is likely to recur. For this reason, bladder cancer survivors often undergo follow-up tests to look for bladder cancer recurrence for years after treatment.

- Kidney CancerKidney cancer is cancer that originates in the kidneys. Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. They’re located behind your abdominal organs, with one kidney on each side of your spine. In adults, the most common type of kidney cancer is renal cell carcinoma. Other less common types of kidney cancer can occur. Young children are more likely to develop a kind of kidney cancer called Wilms’ tumor. The incidence of kidney cancer seems to be increasing. One reason for this may be the fact that imaging techniques such as computerized tomography (CT) are being used more often. These tests may lead to the accidental discovery of more kidney cancers.
- Kidney StonesKidney stones affect about 2 of every 1000 Americans each year. About half of people who experience kidney stones will have repeat episodes unless they seek treatment. Your doctor can do a simple urine and blood test to help you make lifestyle changes to help prevent recurrences. Kidney stones are crystal-like masses that form in the kidney. The formation of stones depends on chemicals present in your urine. If you do not drink enough water, your urine will have more concentrated levels of the chemicals that form stones. Drinking water is essential to preventing the chemicals from clumping together and forming a stone. There are several types of stones each of which may have more than one cause. Diet, fluid intake, metabolic disorders and heredity can all influence stone formation. The main symptoms of stone presence are abdominal and/or back pain and blood in the urine.
- Testicular CancerTesticular cancer is rare and occurs in the testicles, inside the scrotum. But testicular cancer is the most common cancer with American males between the ages of 15 and 34. Testicular cancer is extremely treatable, regardless of whether the cancer has spread beyond the testicle. Depending on stage of testicular cancer, you can have one or several treatments. Regular testicular self-examinations can help identify problems early on.

As one of the most common types of cancer in men, prostate cancer usually grows slowly and initially located in the prostate gland. If you detect prostate cancer early, while it’s still located in the prostate gland, there is a better chance of success with treatment.
