Disease/Condition Glossary

Prostate cancer: It is the cancer of the prostate gland (a small gland under the bladder that produces semen) found only in men. The symptoms include difficulty in urination, pain, numbness, or sexual problems. Certain factors increase the risk of prostate cancer, such as the family history of prostate cancer, older age, obesity, or genetic changes.

Breast cancer: It is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells that are stimulated by a female sex hormone called estrogen. Breast cancer may form in lobules (glands that produce milk), ducts of the breast (the pathway that brings milk from glands to the nipple), and in the fatty tissue or the fibrous connective tissue within the breast.

Endometriosis: It is a disorder in which the tissue lining the uterus (endometrium) grows on the ovaries, bowel, or tissues lining the pelvis. The most common symptom is pelvic pain. Other symptoms of endometriosis include lower back pain, painful periods, heavy menstrual bleeding, pain following sexual intercourse, or discomfort with bowel movements.  

Premature puberty: It is a condition in which the signs of puberty (physical changes in which a child’s body matures into an adult body) start early in children, i.e., before 9 years in girls and before 10 years in boys.
