There are many things that can go wrong with the human body and disease is just one of them. Indeed, most of us run scared when we think that there is something going wrong without bodies but sometimes we just have to face up to reality. For those who want to find out more about specific ailments, and the treatments that are available locally, try looking up ‘prostate cancer’ (PC), or ‘acoustic neuroma’ (AN), on the internet to see what information is freely available.
PC is one of those ailments that normally affect men as they get older. When doctors talk of men having a urine stream which is not as strong as it was before, they are usually talking about this gland which encircles the tube that the urine passes through when it is leaving the body. If disease strikes this gland, it obviously cuts off the stream of urine and this is one of the main pointers to what is going wrong inside the body.
There are many treatments available for this kind of disease, as long as the person affected takes note of any changes in his body and acts upon them as soon as he possibly can. Leaving it even for a short time could lead to devastating results so it is vital that he clears the problem as soon as he can.
With acoustic neuroma, it has often been thought that the increased use of mobile telephony has had an adverse affect within the aural cavity around the ear and back of the head. Batteries and signals from the phone emit low-level radiation and it was thought that this would cause non-cancerous growths on the nerve from the ear to the brain. However, over the past ten years, when mobile phones have reached a peak in popularity, no concrete evidence was found for sure.
However, this is not to say that young children who are constantly on the phone to family and friends will not suffer from some kind of unusual growth. Their bodies are actually still in developmental growth so it is these tender young things which should be protected at all costs.
Treatments for both these kinds of diseases are there, some are a little more invasive than others of course, but treatment is advised as soon as possible so that the prognosis is more positive. This may involve removal of the tumor or gland, a shaving off of some of the gland in the case of PC, or a mixture of both.
There are clinics in most cities and towns which deal with the dreaded disease, but some of the treatments can be rather heavy. Chemotherapy, for example, leads very often to nausea, ill-health and the loss of the hair from the body. However, this radical treatment is meant to take out all the cells that are affected so that the person can live a normal life later. It must be said then that some will survive the worst cases of this disease, and some will not, of course.
