Glossary for Self Harm

• Acute bacterial prostatitis: Bacterial prostatitis is a bacterial inflammation of the prostate gland, in men.
• Alclometasone -- Teratogenic Agent: Experimental studies on rats and rabbits indicate that the use of Alclometasone during pregnancy may cause various harmful effects on the fetus. The likelihood and severity of symptoms may be affected by the level of exposure and the stage of pregnancy that the exposure occurred at. The effect on human fetuses has not been conclusively determined.
