Image
What is mononucleosis (mono)? Mononucleosis is a contagious disease that primarily affects teenagers and young adults, but it can also affect children. Viruses, most often the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and infections cause the condition. Because it is easily transferred through bodily fluids such as saliva, mono is commonly referred to as the "kissing illness." Mono is usually not dangerous and improves without therapy for the majority of patients. On the other hand, extreme weariness, bodily aches, and other symptoms, on the other hand, can interfere with school, work, and daily life. Mono can make you feel ill for up to a month.

What's Prostate Cancer, Symptoms And Treatments

Image
Uncontrolled (malignant) growth of cells in the prostate is a symptom of prostate cancer. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland just below the bladder and in front of the rectum in men. It surrounds the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder. The prostate creates and retains fluid that helps produce sperm. In addition to skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer detected in men in the United States and often develops without symptoms. Because prostate cancer is a slow-growing cancer, many men die from other conditions before it can cause significant problems. Many types of prostate cancer, on the other hand, are more aggressive and can spread outside the prostate, which can be fatal. Prostate cancer survival rates have increased dramatically with early detection and individualized treatment. What factors contribute to the development of prostate cancer? Although the specific etiology of prostate cancer is unknown, researchers are studying var...
