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.2026-06-26

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.2026-06-26

Bladder Cancer
#bladder cancer, #hematuria, #cystoscopy, #transurethral resection, #radical cystectomy, #BCG, #cancer immunotherapy, #smoking, #renal pelvis cancer, #ureteral cancer, #stomachache, #abdominal pain, #belly ache, #gut pain, #fever, #feeling hot, #high fever, #low-grade fever, #body swelling, #facial swelling, #leg swelling, #swollen hands and feet, #frequent urination, #frequent bathroom visits, #blood in urine, #red urine, #bloody urine
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.2026-06-26

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
#COPD, #chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, #airway obstruction, #smoking, #pulmonary function test, #bronchodilator, #smoking cessation, #emphysema, #dry cough, #persistent minor cough, #cough that will not stop
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease in which the airways (the passages through which air travels) gradually narrow, making breathing difficult. The leading cause is smoking. Airways that have narrowed are mostly not restored, so early detection and smoking cessation are especially important. If cough, sputum, or shortness of breath persists, please consult a pulmonology and allergy specialist.2026-06-26

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
#deep vein thrombosis, #DVT, #blood clot, #pulmonary embolism, #leg swelling, #economy class syndrome, #dry cough, #persistent cough, #cough that won't stop
Deep vein thrombosis is a condition in which a blood clot (a lump formed when blood coagulates) develops in a deep vein of the leg and blocks the vessel. Leg swelling and pain are the main symptoms, and if the clot travels to the lungs, a dangerous complication called pulmonary embolism can occur. If you suspect symptoms, please consult a medical specialist right away.2026-06-26

Drug Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis
#rheumatoid arthritis, #antirheumatic drugs, #biologics, #JAK inhibitors, #small molecule inhibitors, #methotrexate, #targeted therapy, #immunosuppressants
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease in which the immune system attacks the body's own joints and causes inflammation. After diagnosis, drug treatment is started to reduce inflammation and slow disease progression. In recent years, in addition to conventional antirheumatic drugs, a variety of targeted therapies have come into use, including biologics and small molecule inhibitors (JAK inhibitors). Because each drug has different characteristics and side effects, please discuss treatment options thoroughly with your doctor before deciding on the approach that is right for you.2026-06-26

Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the esophagus. It can be difficult to detect in the early stages, and the earlier it is found, the better the treatment outcomes tend to be. Reducing risk factors and getting regular screening are important, and if you have any unusual symptoms, please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Fine Dust (Particulate Matter) and Health
#particulate matter, #fine particulate matter (PM2.5), #Asian dust (yellow dust), #respiratory system, #mask, #KF80, #KF94, #asthma, #air pollution, #dry cough, #minor cough, #persistent cough
Fine dust consists of tiny particles floating in the air. It directly affects the respiratory tract, including the nose, bronchi, and lungs, and can also harm the whole body, including the heart, brain, and blood vessels, through the bloodstream. Long-term exposure increases the risk of asthma, reduced lung function, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. On days when fine dust levels are high, limit outdoor activities, and people at high risk are advised to wear a health protection mask.2026-06-26

Heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot supply as much blood as the body needs. With appropriate treatment and management, it is possible to maintain daily life, but if left untreated, symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling can worsen. If you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, or obesity, please see a medical specialist regularly.2026-06-26

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT)
#hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, #bone marrow transplant, #autologous transplant, #allogeneic transplant, #graft-versus-host disease, #blood cancer, #leukemia, #lymphoma, #loose stool, #watery diarrhea, #frequent trips to the bathroom
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a treatment that transplants hematopoietic stem cells, the cells that give rise to white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. It was previously known as bone marrow transplantation, but the name changed once it became possible to collect these cells from peripheral blood as well. It is mainly used to treat blood-related malignancies, and both the treatment process and follow-up care afterward are important.2026-06-26

High-Risk Pregnancy
#high-risk pregnancy, #advanced maternal age pregnancy, #gestational hypertension, #preeclampsia, #gestational diabetes mellitus, #preterm birth, #preterm labor, #obstetrics and gynecology, #anxious feeling in the chest, #restlessness, #worrying for no reason
A high-risk pregnancy is a pregnancy with a higher chance than usual of adversely affecting the mother and the fetus. Advanced maternal age (35 or older) is one risk factor for a high-risk pregnancy. Recognizing your own risk factors and following your medical team's guidance can help lead to a good outcome.2026-06-26
