  Dumping syndrome is a medical condition in which the stomach empties its contents faster than normal into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). Dumping syndrome is also known as rapid gastric emptying. People with dumping syndrome experience symptoms such as nausea and abdominal cramps. These symptoms occur because your small intestine does not absorb nutrients from food that is not properly digested in your stomach. If you have had any type of gastric surgery, such as gastric bypass surgery, you are more likely to have dumping syndrome. Doctors classify dumping syndrome into two specific types: early dumping syndrome and late dumping syndrome. Each type occurs at different times after eating and causes different symptoms. There are two types of dumping syndrome. The types depend on when your symptoms start: Early discharge syndrome. This happens 10 to 30 minutes after eating. About 75% of people with dumping syndrome have this type. Late discharge syndrome. This hap...

  Prostatitis is a benign disease that, although not always curable, can always be treated with antibiotics. Occasionally, inflammation caused by prostatitis raises your PSA (prostate-specific antigen) level. However, it does not cause cancer. Prostate cancer is believed to be caused by a combination of factors such as diet, lifestyle, genetics, and environmental exposure. However, there is a question of whether persistent inflammation of the prostate can eventually lead to the development of prostate cancer, and studies are underway to determine whether reducing inflammation can prevent prostate cancer. Types There are four main types of prostatitis: ●  Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) - Most cases of prostatitis fall into this category; however, this is at least not understood. Chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome can be described as inflammatory or non-inflammatory, based on the presence or absence of infection-fighting cells in the urine, semen, and prost...

  Restless legs syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom syndrome, causes uncomfortable or unpleasant sensations in the legs and a compelling desire to move them. Symptoms usually appear during the day or evening and are usually worse at night when a person is resting, such as when sitting or lying in bed. They can also occur when a person is inactive and sits for a long time (for example, when traveling on an airplane or watching a movie). Since symptoms may be worse at night, you may have difficulty falling asleep or going back to sleep after waking up. Moving or walking relieves the discomfort, but the feeling usually returns as soon as the movement stops. RLS is classified as a sleep disorder because symptoms are triggered by resting and trying to sleep, and as a movement disorder because people are forced to move their legs to relieve symptoms. However, it is best known as a neurological disorder with symptoms arising in the brain itself. RLS is one of several disorders that...
