In Prostate cancer
Prostate gland is a small walnut-sized gland that produces a fluid called seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperms in males. The most common symptom of prostate cancer is difficulty with urination, but sometimes there are no symptoms at all. Cabaxan Injection kills or stops the growth of cancer cells and also prevents the multiplication of cancer cells in men. This also relieves difficulty in passing urine and makes it easier for you to urinate.
