Impotence
Not just old people suffer from impotence about 7 % of men between 20-40 will experience erectile dysfunction.
Men who suffer from ED are unable to maintain or achieve an erection. The reason could be psychological, stress, work related, reaction to prescription drugs or even cholesterol.
Incontinence
Is when you can’t control your urination. Normally your muscles would stop from passing urine until your bladder is full but for some reason people with incontinence don’t have that control.
Glaucoma
Though Glaucoma is normally related to age it can also be hereditary. If someone in your family suffers from it then you are 4-9 times more likely to develop it.
Glaucoma begins to steal your eye sight. Your optic nerve allows you to get images from your eyes to your brain but glaucoma causes damage to the eye.
Signs may include eye pain, eye redness, tunnel vision or even loss of peripheral vision.
