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).
Most men over 50 years of age will have an enlarged prostate at some time in their lives. This means there is an overgrowth of tissue in the prostate gland. Doctors call it benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH.In benign prostate disease, the cells are normal prostate gland cells and are not cancerous. It is possible for men with BPH to go on to develop prostate cancer as well.octors call it benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH.
