Prostate Disorders

#benign prostatic hyperplasia, #prostate cancer, #PSA, #difficulty urinating, #sense of incomplete bladder emptying, #nocturia, #hematuria, #acute urinary retention, #kidney failure, #men's health, #urinating frequently, #frequent trips to the bathroom, #blood in urine, #red urine, #bloody urine

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.

Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate, and about 10% to 12% of all men experience symptoms of it at some point. It is the most common prostate condition in men under age 50. Because treatment differs depending on the type, an accurate diagnosis is important. If you have symptoms, please consult a urologist.

Rectal Cancer

#rectal cancer, #colorectal cancer, #blood in stool, #hemorrhoids, #bowel obstruction, #laparoscopic surgery, #colonoscopy, #indigestion, #bloating, #poor digestion, #loose stool, #watery diarrhea, #frequent trips to the bathroom, #constipation, #difficulty passing stool, #hard stool, #blood on stool, #bloody stool, #bright red stool

Rectal cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the rectum, the final section of the large intestine. It often causes almost no symptoms in its early stages and is frequently found incidentally, which makes regular screening very important. 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.

Reflux Esophagitis

#reflux esophagitis, #gastroesophageal reflux, #heartburn, #acid regurgitation, #lower esophageal sphincter, #reflux, #stomach acid, #chest ache, #chest pain, #chest tightness, #feeling of stuffiness in the chest, #dry cough, #persistent minor cough, #cough that will not stop

Reflux esophagitis is a condition in which stomach contents flow back up into the esophagus and cause inflammation of the esophagus. Heartburn and acid regurgitation (a sour fluid rising into the throat) are typical symptoms, and the condition can be managed with lifestyle changes and drug treatment. If symptoms persist, please consult a medical specialist.

Retinal Artery Occlusion

#retinal artery occlusion, #retina, #decreased vision, #eye stroke, #central retinal artery occlusion, #high blood pressure, #diabetes, #blurry vision, #difficulty seeing, #hazy vision

Retinal artery occlusion is a condition in which the artery that supplies blood to the retina is suddenly blocked. Like a stroke, in which a blood vessel in the brain is blocked, it damages the nerve cells involved in vision, and it is sometimes called an 'eye stroke.' If sudden vision loss occurs, seek immediate medical attention at an emergency room or ophthalmology department.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

#rheumatoid arthritis, #autoimmune disease, #synovitis, #morning stiffness, #antirheumatic drugs, #biologics, #targeted therapy, #joint deformity, #remission, #joint aching, #knee pain, #shoulder pain, #wrist pain, #arthralgia, #lack of energy, #listlessness, #persistent tiredness, #body swelling, #facial swelling, #leg swelling, #swollen hands and feet

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body's own joints and causes inflammation. Joint stiffness, swelling, and pain usually appear symmetrically on both sides, mainly in the small joints of the hands and feet. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the impact on daily life. If you suspect symptoms, please consult a medical specialist.

People with arthritis may experience worse pain with changes in the weather, particularly when barometric pressure drops or temperatures fall. If joint pain becomes severe or lasts for a long time, please consult a medical specialist.

Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Shoulder

#rheumatoid, #shoulder arthritis, #shoulder pain, #rotator cuff, #joint replacement

Rheumatoid arthritis of the shoulder is a disease that weakens the tendons surrounding the shoulder joint and damages the bone. If left untreated, the bone can be severely damaged and even surgery may become difficult, so please consult an orthopedic specialist and continue regular management.

Rheumatoid cervical spine disease is a condition of the neck (cervical spine) that can occur in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Unlike common neck conditions, its main feature is instability of the first and second cervical vertebrae, the uppermost bones of the neck. If symptoms worsen, the spinal cord can be compressed and may lead to paralysis, so please consult a medical specialist.

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.

Robotic Mastectomy for Breast Cancer

#Breast cancer, #Mastectomy, #Robotic surgery, #Nipple-sparing, #Breast reconstruction, #BRCA, #Nipple necrosis, #Minimally invasive surgery

Robotic mastectomy is a minimally invasive surgery in which a surgeon controls a robotic system to remove the breast. A “mastectomy” refers to surgery that removes the entire breast. Compared with conventional surgery, the incisions are smaller and placed differently, offering a cosmetic advantage. Breast reconstruction may also be performed at the same time if needed. Whether this approach is right for you should be decided after a thorough discussion with your doctor.

Rotator Cuff Disorders

#rotator cuff, #shoulder pain, #rotator cuff tear, #shoulder muscles, #shoulder tendons, #shoulder rehabilitation

Rotator cuff disorders are conditions in which the main muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder (the rotator cuff) are affected. Among people with shoulder pain, rotator cuff disorders are far more common than frozen shoulder. If your shoulder hurts, please consult a medical specialist for an accurate diagnosis.

Rotator Cuff Tear

#rotator cuff tear, #impingement syndrome, #shoulder pain, #supraspinatus tendon, #acromion, #shoulder surgery, #tendon rupture

A rotator cuff tear is a condition in which the rotator cuff — the four muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder — is torn. It is often confused with frozen shoulder, so accurate diagnosis and treatment are important. If shoulder pain persists, please consult a medical specialist.
