The prostate is a small gland that plays an important role in male reproductive anatomy. Prostate problems can have a range of causes, including prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and prostate cancer. Due to the location of the prostate in the pelvis, problems typically result in urinary symptoms. If people notice any signs or have concerns, they should consult a doctor. The prostate is a walnut-sized organ that is part of the male reproductive system. It helps to produce semen and regulate urine flow. It also plays a role in hormone production and semen pH balancing. The prostate gland tends to grow with age, making prostate problems more common in older adults. Problems with the prostate typically affect its function and can cause various symptoms. The most common problems include an inflamed prostate, an enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer. In this article, we will discuss prostate problems, their symptoms, and treatments. The prostate is a small gland that sits in the p...

One of the most common health issues that men over 40 face are the imbalance and enlargement of the prostate. The prostate cannot maintain its normal functioning and can become hyperactive. The growth of the prostate leads to frequent bathroom trips, and urine control becomes even more difficult. Research states that the prevalence of BPH and LUTS rises exponentially in men with increased age. BPH affects 70% of US men 60–69 years of age, and 80% of those affected are 70 years of age and older.The official website of Vitagenix shares; "In 1895, a surgeon named Dr. William White discovered a connection between BPH and a hormone called dihydrotestosterone." Dihydrotestosterone is ten times stronger than testosterone and controls the growth switch in males. The male sex hormone helps the reproductive system reach full maturity during puberty. It is also what helps with muscle mass and facial hair in men. However, when males have too much of this hormone in their bodies, it ...

Responding to the opening of the first trial before the Special Criminal Court (SCC) in the Central African Republic (CAR), Abdoulaye Diarra, Amnesty International's Central Africa researcher, said: "The opening of the first trial before the SCC is a long-awaited day and a moment of truth for many people in CAR. For too long, victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity have been made to wait for justice and reparations. The court must now ensure that Issa Sallet Adoum, Yaouba Ousman and Mahamat Tahir are tried according to fair trial standards. "We also call on the CAR authorities and MINUSCA to step up their efforts to arrest other individuals wanted for crimes under international law by the SCC. Today's hearing must be the first in a series of trials by the court. Alleged war criminals in positions of greater authority must also face justice for the atrocities committed in CAR." Background On 19 April 2022, the SCC opened a...

Introduction Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignancy and the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths affecting men in developed countries. 1 PCa incidence has risen over the recent decades. Factors responsible for this rise include aging population, obesity due to "western" dietary habits, and increasing use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. 2 Prostate cells, normal or cancerous, are dependent upon androgens for survival and growth. Consequently, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) (also called hormone therapy by some clinicians) is still the mainstay of PCa treatment. Surgical (bilateral orchiectomy) or chemical (pharmaceutical) interventions resulting in the reduction of serum testosterone or blockade of the androgen receptor, are referred to as ADT. Antiandrogens alone— like flutamide, enzalutamide, and apalutamide (the modern derivatives)— are not considered ADT but are used in combination with surgical or chemical castration. ADT was ...
