A thyroid nodule is a lump found in the thyroid gland. It is found very commonly, and most nodules are benign (not cancer). About 5% to 10% are diagnosed as thyroid cancer, so accurate testing and follow-up are important.

Tongue Cancer

Tongue cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the tongue and accounts for about 10 to 15% of all head and neck cancers. Because early symptoms resemble those of stomatitis (mouth sores), it is often left untreated and found late. Treatment outcomes tend to be better when the cancer is detected early, so if you have a sore on the tongue that does not heal or a lump you can feel, please consult a medical specialist without delay.

Rheumatic diseases involve dysregulation of the immune system and can make a person more vulnerable to infectious diseases. Immunosuppressive drugs used in treatment also increase the risk of infection. Vaccination is an effective way to help prevent infectious diseases, so please consult your doctor and receive vaccinations at the appropriate time.

Wrist Fracture

#wrist fracture, #fall, #fracture, #winter fracture, #icy road, #osteoporosis, #wrist, #cast

A wrist fracture occurs when a person puts a hand out to break a fall and the impact is transmitted to the wrist. It commonly occurs after falls on icy roads in winter, and older adults and women with osteoporosis-weakened bones can fracture even with minor impact. If left untreated, it can lead to wrist deformity, limited joint motion, and arthritis. If you have pain and swelling in the wrist after a fall, please consult an orthopedic specialist.
