Hard mineral and salt deposits that form in the kidneys and may cause severe pain, blood in urine, nausea, or difficulty while passing urine.

A non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland in men, leading to urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, weak urine stream, and difficulty in bladder emptying.
> Erectile Dysfunction (ED):
The inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. This condition may result from aging, chronic medical conditions, lifestyle factors, or certain medications.
> Male Infertility:
The inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse, often due to problems with sperm production, quality, or delivery.
> Testicular Cancer:
A malignant growth in the testicles that may present as a lump, swelling, or pain. Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes.
