Most people with IBD take a maintenance drug to help keep symptoms in check, even when the IBD is quiescent. Maintenance drugs will be continued during a flare-up, and other drugs, diet modifications, or more treatments may be prescribed by a gastroenterologist to bring the disease back under control.
Prostate cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the prostate. The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system. It lies just below the bladder (the organ that collects and empties urine) and in front of the rectum (the lower part of the intestine).
Benign prostatic hyperplasia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called benign enlargement of the prostate (BEP or BPE), is a noncancerous increase in size of the prostate. BPH involves hyperplasia of prostatic stromal and epithelial cells, resulting in the formation of large, fairly discrete nodules in the transition zone of the prostate.
