The urinary method is effective for ridding the body of waste fluid known as urine or urea (more commonly called wee/pee). This method also makes sure certain chemicals within our bodies, such as potassium and sodium, are kept in balance.

The male reproductive system is liable for making and carrying the male reproductive cells (sperm) and its fluid called semen. This system makes sure the male sex cells and hormones are kept in balance.

Major parts of the urinary system include:

• kidneys
• bladder
• urethra
• ureters.

Major organs of the male reproductive system include:

• prostate gland
• testicles
• penis.

Cancer occurs in any of these organs when a cell develops abnormally and out of control.
