Prostate enlargement affects the majority of men over the age of 50. The majority have BPH, or benign prostatic hyperplasia, but the cause of their discomfort and urinary issues is an undiagnosed infection. BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and prostatitis both result in symptoms caused by an inflamed or swollen prostate gland. In males, the prostate gland surrounds the bladder neck. The prostate gland secretes the fluid that nourishes sperm. Normal prostate glands are about the size of ping-pong balls and can swell to the size of tennis balls. The urethra (tube) narrows as it expands. Urine flow is slowed or stopped when the narrowing is moderate or severe. The prostate swells in both infectious and inflammatory prostatitis and in BPH.
Maybe you are suffering from Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia – a condition in which your body does not have enough healthy red blood cells, due to a lack (deficiency) of vitamin B12. This vitamin is needed to make red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all parts of your body. Your tissues and organs don’t get enough oxygen if deficient in red blood cells. This may lead to fatigue and muscle weakness.
Diabetes develops when insulin loses its ability to transport sugar from the bloodstream to the body’s cells. Insulin resistance occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin to remove blood sugar from the body and transport it elsewhere. Type 1 diabetes develops when the immune system mistakenly destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Type 2 diabetes symptoms often appear gradually. Among the symptoms are increased thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, and slow healing.
