Prostatitis, Breast Cancer, Kidney Disease: Annual Tests

At the EcoPark medical center, they believe that shame and fear are bad advisors. An honest conversation with a doctor can preserve excellent well-being and quality of life.

Prostatitis Without Taboos

Men often attribute difficulties with urination and erection to age or fatigue. And they postpone a visit to the urologist due to fear of the examination. But the truth is that prostate examination is not a test of masculinity, but basic medical diagnostics.

Modern methods of checking — a blood test for PSA and ultrasound — take about 15 minutes and do not cause pain. And most importantly, they allow timely detection of changes. Prostate cancer today is not a death sentence: when detected at an early stage, it is successfully treated with preservation of an active and full life. There is no need to wait for a «special occasion,» because the earlier a problem is found, the faster and easier it is solved.

All About Breast Health

Many women postpone a visit to the mammologist for years, fearing to find a lump and hear a terrible diagnosis. But a «lump» in the breast is far from always cancer. According to statistics, in 80% of cases, formations turn out to be benign. And only a doctor can confirm this.

Even unfavorable heredity does not mean that a person will necessarily get sick, but it is a reason to regularly undergo diagnostics and treat oneself more attentively. At the modern level of medical development, with early detection, breast cancer is treatable in 90% of cases.

Embarrassment before examination is an understandable emotion. But do not forget that for the doctor, the mammary gland is the same organ as any other. The specialist can be asked any question. Ask boldly about everything, because honest answers save lives.

So That Kidneys Do Not Fail

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) cannot be cured, but it can and should be controlled. The goal of therapy is to preserve organ function and prevent transition to the terminal stage of chronic renal failure. For this, it is necessary to maintain a certain lifestyle and undergo treatment prescribed by the doctor.

For a basic check of kidney function, it is enough once a year to take a general urine test and blood biochemistry with determination of creatinine level, and then consult a therapist. It is also worth going for a consultation if the frequency of urination has changed. Their number is individual and depends on how much a person drinks, but on average, normally, 3/4 of the incoming fluid volume is excreted.
