Having a certain illness is not a good thing. Most people get ill because they neglect early signs of certain illness in their bodies. Unlike women, most men hide their pain and signs of illnesses. This makes it hard to treat or even control certain illness in their bodies. Men ignore certain illnesses which develop into a dangerous illness which comes with other complications in their bodies. Here are five illnesses that only men can suffer from:
Color blindness
Color differentia in men is usually a problem. Most men suffer from green-red color blindness. When green or red is among several colors, they see all the other colors as green or red. The inability of men to differentiate between colors is a genetic disorder acquired from their mothers.
Bladder stones
Bladder stones are hard pieces of stones which form in the bladder. Usually, they cause pain in the lower abdomen when the bladder is full of urine. More so, they cause cloudy urine and pain in the penis when urinating.
Varicocele
Varicocele can have a negative effect on your fertility. This illness is the abnormal enlargement of the veins in the scrotum. This causes drainage of blood from the testicles into the enlarged veins in the scrotum hence swelling. Varicocele affects blood flow to normal veins which makes sperm production a problem.
Male breast cancer
A small percentage of men can develop this illness. Male breast cancer can be due to gene mutation, hereditary or even due to high levels of estrogen in your body. Usually, a small lump is felt in the breast indicating this illness.
Testicular cancer
Testicular cancer affects young men of between 16-39 years. The illness which affects the testicles is detected by a lump, swelling or even pain which doesn’t go away easily.
