Abdominal Wall Hernia

#abdominal wall hernia, #hernia, #laparoscopy, #robotic surgery, #minimally invasive surgery, #bowel obstruction, #abdominal surgery, #stomachache, #abdominal pain, #belly ache, #gut pain, #dry cough, #minor cough, #persistent cough, #unable to pass stool, #difficulty passing stool, #hard stools

An abdominal wall hernia is a condition in which the abdominal wall around a surgical incision weakens after abdominal surgery, allowing tissue from inside the abdominal cavity to push out. Early detection and surgery may allow a faster recovery. If you feel an unusual lump in the abdomen or develop sudden abdominal pain, please consult a medical specialist.

An acute upper respiratory infection is a condition in which a viral or bacterial infection causes inflammation in the upper airway, including the nose, tonsils, pharynx (throat), and larynx (voice box). It includes what is commonly called the "common cold." The main symptoms are runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, and fever. Adequate fluids and rest are the basic treatment, but if you have a high fever or severe symptoms, please consult an ENT specialist.

Angina (Angina Pectoris)

#angina, #chest pain, #myocardial infarction, #coronary artery, #atherosclerosis, #stent, #sudden death

Angina is a cardiovascular condition in which the coronary arteries — the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart — become narrowed, causing a dull chest pain. Because heart disease can be a major cause of sudden death, if you feel chest discomfort that is different from what you normally experience, please do not delay in consulting a medical specialist.

Aortic Valve Stenosis

#Aortic valve stenosis, #Aortic valve, #TAVI, #Heart valve, #Age-related disease, #Chest ache, #Chest pain, #Tight chest, #Chest tightness, #Collapsing, #Losing consciousness, #Fainting

Aortic valve stenosis is a condition in which the aortic valve — a one-way door between the heart and the aorta that keeps blood flowing in a single direction — no longer opens properly, restricting blood flow. It is a common condition of aging: more than 1 in 10 people age 80 and older have it. In patients with severe disease and symptoms, the condition can worsen quickly without appropriate treatment, so evaluation by a medical specialist is very important.

Asthma

#asthma, #bronchi, #allergy, #cough, #wheezing, #shortness of breath, #inhaler, #bronchodilator, #yellow dust, #fine particulate matter, #breathlessness, #difficulty breathing, #labored breathing, #feeling of suffocation, #dry cough, #persistent cough, #cough that won't stop

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition in which the airways (the passages through which air moves in and out of the lungs) become hypersensitive, often due to allergic reactions, and narrow, causing recurring coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. It is sometimes mistaken for a severe cough or cold, which can delay proper treatment. Symptoms can worsen with exposure to yellow dust, fine particulate matter, or pollen. If you have recurring coughing or shortness of breath, please consult a pulmonologist or allergist.

Athlete's Foot (Tinea)

#athlete's foot, #tinea pedis, #fungal infection, #fungus, #antifungal agents, #onychomycosis, #ringworm

Athlete's foot is a common fungal skin infection. It is a skin condition caused by a fungus called a dermatophyte infecting the foot. It occurs easily in hot, humid environments such as summer and is contagious. It can occur not only on the feet but also in many other areas, including the nails, groin, and scalp.

Atlantoaxial Instability (Cervical Instability)

#cervical instability, #first cervical vertebra (C1), #second cervical vertebra (C2), #cervical disc herniation, #cervical spine surgery, #rheumatoid arthritis, #cervical fusion, #spinal cord, #numbness in hands and feet, #arm numbness, #tingling leg, #weakness in arms and legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body, #anxious feeling in the chest, #restlessness, #worrying for no reason

Cervical instability (atlantoaxial instability) is a condition in which the connection between the first and second neck bones (cervical vertebrae) becomes loose and allows excessive movement. Mild cases may cause no symptoms, but as it progresses it can compress the spinal cord and lead to serious nerve damage. It is relatively common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Please be sure to decide on an accurate diagnosis and treatment approach through a medical specialist.

Biliary Tract Cancer

#biliary tract cancer, #cholangiocarcinoma, #gallbladder cancer, #jaundice, #liver fluke, #bile duct stones, #painless jaundice

Biliary tract cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the bile ducts, through which bile flows, or in the gallbladder. It mainly occurs in people in their 60s and older, and it is often found when jaundice appears after a period without symptoms. The earlier it is detected, the better the outlook for treatment, so if you have risk factors, please have regular checkups.

Bladder cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the inner lining of the bladder. In the early stages, treatment that preserves the bladder is often possible, but in advanced cases the bladder may need to be removed. Early detection is very important for treatment outcomes. If you have suspicious symptoms such as blood in the urine, be sure to consult a medical specialist.

Blood Cancer

#blood cancer, #leukemia, #multiple myeloma, #platelets, #bone marrow, #anemia, #chemotherapy, #hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Blood cancer refers to cancer that arises in the bone marrow, the organ responsible for producing blood cells. The bone marrow makes three types of blood cells: white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. When the bone marrow malfunctions, abnormalities in the number, shape, or function of these cells can cause a variety of symptoms. Frequent nosebleeds or easy bruising can occur, but these symptoms do not necessarily mean a person has blood cancer. If abnormal results appear on a blood test, please consult a hematology-oncology specialist.

Breast Cancer

#Breast cancer, #Breast cancer surgery, #Breast reconstruction, #Robotic surgery, #Lymph nodes, #Breast cancer screening, #Inconclusive result, #Lymphedema, #Body swelling, #Face swelling, #Leg swelling, #Swollen hands and feet

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in breast tissue, and it is one of the more common cancers in women. Surgical and reconstruction techniques continue to advance, and outcomes are generally good when the cancer is found early. If a breast screening shows an abnormal result, or if you notice a lump or a change in the skin, please see a medical specialist.

Breast Reconstruction

#Breast reconstruction, #Breast cancer, #Implant, #Autologous tissue, #Plastic surgery

Breast reconstruction rebuilds the breast after breast cancer surgery, helping with emotional healing as well. Finding the safest approach for your body type and condition requires a thorough evaluation and discussion with a plastic surgeon.

Cataract

#cataract, #lens, #vision loss, #presbyopia, #macular degeneration, #phacoemulsification, #intraocular lens, #multifocal lens, #blurry vision, #difficulty seeing, #cloudy vision, #double vision, #overlapping images

A cataract is a condition in which the lens inside the eye, which acts like a camera lens, becomes cloudy and vision declines. Aging is the most common cause. If your vision is blurry or dim, please consult an eye specialist (ophthalmologist).

Cerebral Aneurysm

A cerebral aneurysm is a condition in which the wall of a blood vessel in the brain becomes abnormally thin and bulges outward. Before it ruptures, it usually causes no symptoms and is sometimes found by chance during a health checkup. Because a rupture can become a life-threatening emergency, people with risk factors are advised to talk with their doctor about regular screening. If a health checkup shows an abnormal finding, please consult a neurosurgery specialist, and if a sudden, severe headache occurs, seek immediate medical attention at an emergency room.
