Whilst doing some research I came across an interesting acne study carried out by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Medicine. It proposes that there could be a link between severe acne and prostate cancer in men.
The main reason the study was carried out was to investigate existing research that showed that the Propionibacterium acnes (P.Acnes) bacteria was present in one third of prostate tissue samples taken from men with prostate cancer.

Endometriosis is one of the highest recorded conditions related to infertility. About 75% of total infertile cases are caused by biological make-up problems, including utero formation and pelvic conditions.
About 30% to 40% of the women suffering from Endrometriosis are also reported to be infertile. Though the relation of endometriosis and infertility is yet to be established, the presence of masses of tissues and scarrings in the pelvic and utero area brought on by the conditions is one of the many causes of infertility.
Endometriosis is defined as the condition wherein Endometrium tissue grows and lines not only the uterine linings, but also organs like intestines, pelvis, vaginal walls, fallopian tubes, etc. These deposits in unlikely areas cause menstruation to backflow onto the fallopian tubes and cause scarrings along the way. These abrasions have been pointed to play a role in infertility.
