3. URINARY INCONTINENCE
Urinary

the involuntary
and
unintentional
passage of
urine.
Approximately
13 million
Americans suffer
from this
disorder. Women

more frequently
than men;
approximately
one out of every
ten women
under the age of
sixty-five are
affected. Older
people, too, are
more prone to
the condition.
Twenty percent
of Americans
over the age of
sixty-five are
incontinent.

4. KIDNEY STONES
 Kidney stones are solid accumulations or material
that form in the tubal system of the kidneys. Kidney
stones cause problems when they block the flow of
urine through or out of the kidneys. When the
stones move along the ureter, they cause severe
pain.

5. KIDNEY CANCER
 Kidney cancer develops
when cells in certain
tissues in the kidneys
become abnormal and
grow uncontrollably,
forming tumors. Kidney
cancer accounts for 3
percent of cancer cases
in the United States.
The disease occurs
most often in men over
the age of forty. Men are
twice as likely as
women to suffer from
this type of cancer.

6. BLADDER CANCER
 Bladder cancer develops
when cells lining the
urinary bladder become
abnormal and grow
uncontrollably, forming
tumors. It is the fifth most
common cancer in the
United States. The
disease is three times
more common in men
than woman. Most cases
of bladder cancer are
found in people who are
fifty to seventy years old.

7. NEPHRITIS
 Nephritis is inflammation of the nephrons in
the kidneys. Nephritis comes from Latin, from
Ancient Greek νεφρῖτις, from νεφρός "kidney" and -
ῖτις, a feminine adjective ending.

8. URETHRITIS
 Urethritis is an infection
of the urethra. It is
caused by a sexually
