The reproductive system is a collection of internal and external organs — in both


males and females — that work together for the purpose of procreating Doctors know that prostate cancer begins when some cells in your prostate
become abnormal. Mutations in the abnormal cells' DNA cause the cells to
grow and divide more rapidly than normal cells do.

3.Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.

thyroid, a small gland at the base of your neck below your Adam's apple. The thyroid
gland is part of your endocrine system, which produces hormones that coordinate

Graves' disease is caused by a malfunction in the body's disease-fighting immune
system, although the exact reason why this happens is still unknown.One normal
immune system response is the production of antibodies designed to target a
specific virus, bacterium or other foreign substance. In Graves' disease — for
reasons that aren't well understood — the body produces an antibody to one part of
the cells in the thyroid gland, a hormone-producing gland in the neck.
Symptoms ; Treatment :
Treatment for Hashimoto's disease may include observation and use of medications.
 Fatigue and sluggishness If there's no evidence of hormone deficiency, and your thyroid is functioning
normally, your doctor may suggest a wait-and-see approach. If you need medication,

Causes ;

creates antibodies that damage your thyroid gland. Doctors don't know what causes
your immune system to attack your thyroid gland. Some scientists think a virus or
bacterium might trigger the response, while others believe a genetic flaw may be 1. Cerebrovascular accident

Causes ;
The most common cause of aphasia is brain damage resulting from a stroke — the
blockage or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. Loss of blood to the brain leads to
brain cell death or damage in areas that control language. Symptoms :

 Numbness or weakness in one or more limbs that typically occurs on one side
of your body at a time, or the legs and trunk

stroke.  Tremor, lack of coordination or unsteady gait

Treatment :
If the brain damage is mild, a person may recover language skills without treatment.
However, most people undergo speech and language therapy to rehabilitate their
language skills and supplement their communication experiences.
Causes ;
The cause of multiple sclerosis is unknown. It's considered an autoimmune disease
in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. In the case of MS, this
immune system malfunction destroys the fatty substance that coats and protects
nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord (myelin).

Prevention :
Scientists, researchers, and doctors haven’t yet been able to develop a method of
curing or preventing MS. One of the main reasons why is that the cause of MS isn’t
fully understood.

Treatment ;
There is no cure for multiple sclerosis. Treatment typically focuses on speeding
recovery from attacks, slowing the progression of the disease and
managing MS symptoms. Some people have such mild symptoms that no treatment
is necessary.
