#ileostomy, #intestinal stoma, #colorectal cancer, #loose stool, #watery diarrhea, #frequent bowel movements
As time passes after ileostomy surgery, the condition of the bowel and the degree of recovery change, and systematic dietary management suited to each stage is needed. [1–3 months after surgery]: The bowel is swollen and very sensitive [4–12 months after surgery]: Bowel recovery begins [More than 12 months after surgery]: Bowel recovery reaches its maximum, and adequate food intake may be possible [Characteristics of the period more than 12 months after surgery]: This is the period in which bowel recovery reaches its maximum. Overall digestive function improves, and adequate food intake may become possible.2026-08-19

Osteoporosis
#osteoporosis, #bone density, #compression fracture, #menopause, #calcium, #vitamin D, #bisphosphonates, #fall prevention, #vertebral fracture, #femoral fracture, #dry cough, #persistent cough, #cough that won't stop
Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weaker and can break easily even from a minor impact. There are often no symptoms, and it is frequently discovered only after a fracture occurs. The risk is higher in postmenopausal women and older adults, so regular bone density testing and preventive lifestyle habits are important. Please be sure to discuss treatment options with a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Prostate Cancer
#prostate cancer, #PSA, #prostate-specific antigen, #robotic surgery, #radiation therapy, #prostate biopsy, #family history, #androgen deprivation therapy, #early screening
Prostate cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages, so it is frequently discovered only after it has progressed significantly. Early detection is possible through the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test, and when found early, surgery or radiation therapy can offer a favorable outlook. Regular screening is important for men age 45 and older, especially those with a family history.2026-06-26

Prostate Disorders

Prostate disorders include benign prostatic hyperplasia, which causes difficulty urinating, and prostate cancer, which is increasing rapidly among men. Both conditions tend to have few or mild symptoms in their early stages, making them easy to overlook, but if left unaddressed, they can lead to serious complications such as urinary retention or kidney failure. If you have any urinary symptoms, please be sure to consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

If you suspect this condition, please do not try to judge it yourself — be sure to see a medical specialist for a proper evaluation and testing.2026-06-26

Robotic Cholecystectomy
#robotic surgery, #cholecystectomy, #gallbladder, #laparoscopy, #single-port surgery, #minimally invasive surgery, #gallstones, #cholecystitis, #gallbladder polyp, #hand tremor, #body tremor
Robotic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgery in which a surgeon controls a robotic system to remove the gallbladder. 'Minimally invasive' means the operation is performed through small openings in the body. It may be considered as treatment for gallbladder conditions such as cholecystitis, gallstones (cholelithiasis), and gallbladder polyps. Please discuss the choice of surgical method thoroughly with your treating specialist before making a decision.2026-06-26

Robotic Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery
#robotic surgery, #laparoscopic surgery, #hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, #liver donation, #minimally invasive surgery, #living donor liver transplantation, #surgical scar, #open surgery, #lack of energy, #lethargy, #persistent fatigue
Robotic surgery is a method in which the surgeon sits at a console (control device) and operates by controlling robotic arms. Using 10x magnified three-dimensional (3D) images and freely moving robotic arms, it can allow more precise manipulation than laparoscopic surgery. It is also used for liver, bile duct, and pancreatic surgery, and for liver donation surgery. Whether robotic surgery is suitable, and which method is used, depends on each patient's condition, so please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26
