11. Reproductive Cancer in Males Testicular cancer can affect males of any age, but occurs most often in males between the ages of 15 and 24. With early detection, most testicular cancer is treatable through surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Prostate cancer-the prostate gland can become enlarged as a result of an infection, a tumor, or age. Early detection of prostate cancer through a digital rectal exam performed by a physician increases survival rates.
12. TSE: Testicular Self-Examinations The American Cancer Society recommends that males perform a self-exam for testicular cancer once a month as a means of early detection. Although, TSE’s are a great way to detect testicular cancer in it’s early stages, they will not detect any other form of cancer. 1. Standing in front of a mirror, look for swelling. Examine each testicle with both hands. Roll the testicle gently between the thumbs and forefingers. 2. Cancerous lumps usually are found on the side of the testicle but can appear on the front. Find the epididymis, the soft tube like structure behind each testicle, so that you won’t mistake it for a lump. 3. Most lumps are not cancerous. If you do find a lump or experience pain or swelling, however, consult a health care professional.

Bathe or shower daily - keeping your reproductive organs clean is important. Also remember to change tampons or sanitary pads every few hours during the menstrual period. c.

Report any pain, discharge, or other signs of infection to your health care provider as soon as possible.
25. Reproductive Cancer in Females Cervical, uterine, and ovarian cancers- early sexual activity and STDs such as human papillomavirus (HPV) increase the risk of cervical cancer. Regular exams (ex. Pap smears) are important for early detection and treatment. The Food and Drug Administration has approved a vaccine that prevents infection from four strains of the HPV virus.
26. Breast Self-Examinations Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of death, after lung cancer, for women in the United States. The American Cancer Society recommends that females examine their breasts once a month, right after their menstrual period, when breasts are not tender. Early detection is critical for successful treatment of breast cancer.
27. Steps of Breast Self-Exams (BSE) 1. Lie down with a pillow under your right shoulder. Put your right arm behind your head. Place the three middle finger pads of your left hand on your right breast. Move your fingers in a circular motion, pressing first with light, then medium, then firm pressure. Feel for any lumps or thickening of the breast. Follow this process in an up-and-down path over the breast. Be sure to check all of the breast tissue, from the underarm edge to the middle of the chest bone, and from the collarbone to ribs. Repeat, using your right hand on your left breast. 2. Stand in front of a mirror with your hands pressed firmly on your hips. Inspect your breasts for any changes in size, shape, or appearance. Look for dimpling, rash, puckering or scaliness of the skin or nipple, or discharge. 3. Next, raise your arms over your head (palm pressed together), and look for changes. 4. Examine your underarms with your arms only slightly raised so you can more easily feel these areas.

35. Bacterial Vs. Viral STDs can be either bacterial or viral. Bacterial infections are cause by different bacteria Viral infections are caused by different viruses Major differences: Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics and cured. Viral infections cannot be cured. The symptoms can be alleviated with treatment but the virus will never leave the body.
36. Importance of Treatment It is important to understand the risks and consequences of STD’s because they are a serious threat to health and well-being. If you are having, or have had, sex at any time it is important to be examined for infection by a doctor. This is especially important because, many times, STD’s are very difficult to detect- especially in females. STDs can live inside a body for a long time without the person exhibiting any symptoms, so many people do not get the treatment they need and suffer serious health problems as a result.
