11.26 Enlargement of Prostate Gland – The prostate gland is an organ in the male reproductive system, weighing about 20 grams and about the size of a chestnut. Increasing age is the predominant cause for this disorder. The enlargement of the prostate is common among men over 50 years of age. An enlarged prostate can press the urethra. Such pressure can make the passing of urine from the body difficult and may result in bladder infection and kidney damage.

11.27  Endometriosis – It is a disease of the female reproductive system in which clusters of cells from the lining of the uterus invade other areas of the body. The areas most often affected are the ovaries and the walls of the pelvic and abdominal cavities. Endometriosis is most frequently diagnosed in women 20 to 40 years of age who have never been able to bear children. It has been believed by doctors that this disease occurs when impure blood from the uterus flows backwards into the abdominal cavity each month. This blood has clusters of uterine cells which can attach themselves to the ligaments, organs or walls of the cavity. The symptoms of endometriosis are bladder irritation and severe pain during bleeding.
