Global statistics confirm that the incidence of male reproductive system tumors increases with age. It's worth noting that the male reproductive system performs many functions, the most important of which is the production of sperm and seminal fluid. There are also many diseases that affect the male reproductive system, including gonorrhea, which is an infectious disease.
The following are tumors that affect the male reproductive system...
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland in the male reproductive system. It lies below the bladder and in front of the rectum, surrounding the upper part of the urethra. Its function is to produce and store semen, a fluid rich in nutrients for sperm. Prostate cancer is one of the types of cancer that can lead to death, God forbid. Risk factors for this disease include obesity, advanced age, and family history.
Prostate cancer is initially treated with hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, depending on the disease's progression. Surgery may be necessary to eliminate the disease if necessary.
Testicular cancer is a rare type of cancer, and it usually affects only one testicle. The chances of recovery are very high, especially if detected in the early stages. Testicular cancer is diagnosed in most men through a self-examination of the testicles.
The causes of this type of cancer have not yet been determined, and its incidence increases after the age of 50. It represents a malignant cellular change and proliferation in the penis. These changes most often occur in the glans penis or the foreskin.
Treatment for penile cancer depends on removing the affected part of the penis or amputating part of the penis, depending on the condition and the extent of the disease. In some other cases, it is possible to resort to radiation or chemotherapy in order to try to find an alternative solution to penile amputation, taking into account the patient's psychological state, which may be affected by the operation.
