Dear Ms. Durham:
I am writing to bring to your attention the concerns of one of my constituents
and to ask that you give full and fair consideration to his particular views.
Enclosed please find a detailed letter I received from Dr. Brad Hennenfent
of Chicago, Illinois. Dr. Hennenfent has expressed reservations about the
lack of research on and funding for prostatitis, a disease causing infection
or inflammation of the prostate gland which can result in intense pain,
urinary complications, sexual dysfunction, infertility, and a drastic reduction
in the quality of life.
Any information you could provide Dr. Hennenfent regarding the aforementioned
issue and his concerns would be greatly appreciated.
Please forward any reply to my office directly. Thank you for your attention
to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
