Kidney Stones: these painful foreign objects usually form where urine collects before flowing through the tube that leads to your bladder. The smaller type stones very often pass out of the body through urination and are usually unnoticed by the patient.

Prostate Cancer: is a serious problem found primarily in older men. The prostate becomes larger with passing time and obstructs the urethra or bladder. This obstruction often leads to difficulty urinating and hinder sexual performance.
