Have we done enough to tackle Cancer?

On 14th February 2016,on Valentines day visited The Tata Memorial Hospital foot path with my few friends of St.Paul's Orthodox Church, Powai, Mumbai.A tempo full of collected cloth and food including,Chappathi, Bhaji, Idali, Chadni, Benana,Biscuits and fruity etc.Around 200 to 300 cancer patients are sitting and laying in that footpath, few are with I.V.fluid and few with Nasal tube and mask. While we start distributing cloth and food, police men on duty objected.Then we approach the higher officer in near by police station convinced and got permission to distribute the same in a day.The situation of the patients and their relative are very grave. No proper stay,food and sanitation for them.Even they are not getting proper treatment also.Its a pathetic condition,all are having identity card also.

Why I write this note that Tata Memorial Hospital going to do year long Platinum Jubilee Celebration of the cancer centre, Parel, begin on February 2016.The number of cancer cases seems to be on the rise across the world,but is there a corresponding improvement in its treatment? Major cancer identified for women Brest,Cervix, Colorectal,Ovary, LIp,and Oral Cavity.For Men Lip,Oral Cavity,Lung Stomach, Colorectal and other Pharynx.

Day by day its increase the number of patients poring towards the city from most of the northen states of India.At the same time Mumbai is the most polluted and dangerous city in India. This is an eye opener to the authority concerned. A humble suggestion to open new Cancer centre hospital in all over the sates of India, like Tata Memorial Hospital to accommodate more patients and get a proper treatment.

Govt. of India and the state Govt's.to took more initiative to rehabilitate cancer patients, its a great help to the sufferings.

One should not panic while on sickness?

First of all keep in mind don't start your own treatment for long and not neglect also.It will aggravate the situation.Consult a doctor as early as possible.Once its diagnosis before starting with treatment take a second opinion whether we start with the treatment or not.

Right kind of diagnosis is essential to ensure the most effective treatment and control of diseases.Lack of good diagnostic can lead to a burden of ill health which itself is dangerous.Hence it is important to get the right diagnosis done and at the right time.A more accurate diagnosis is possible when a complete history of the patients to be given to the doctor with out any hesitation.

Early diagnosis and treatment not only reduce the risk of the patient developing long term complications,but prompt treatment also reduces further transmission of the disease to other members of the family.

Some time doctors diagnose made on the basis of clinical signs or symptoms,but accurate diagnosis usually requires a specific diagnostic test,it has to tests done in a laboratory. Laboratory testing is perhaps most useful for detection of any kind of a disease.

Once diagnose the disease, treatment starts, be alert which are the medicines you are going to take.Make sure with the doctor what for the medicine and its side effect also.

If you are little conscious about disease and the treatment no need of panic and you can take a proper treatment.If you are God fearing/believing God pray and ask for His mercy.He is good comforter and a healer.

Is Menstrual Cramps is an important Public Health Issue?

According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, period pain affects the lives of around one in five women.The agony that women suffer,often in silence,not because it's a subject still not openly discussed,but also because there is no real cure at hand.

Although periods may be the most basic fact of life,and millions of women suffer agonizing pain,the world of medicines does not seem to take it seriously as it should.John Guillebaud, professor of reproductive health at University College London,says cramping can be as "bad as having a heart attack".And because men don't get it,it hasn't been given the centrality it should have," he told Quartz. "I do believe it's something that should be taken care of,like anything else in medicine."
There are two main reasons for period pain-primary Dysmenorrhea and Endometriosis.The first is the clinical term for painful menstruation that affects women no sooner than they start with their periods.Despite that,there has been very little research on its causes and treatment.

The second condition happened when the endometrial tissue grows outside the womb. The body reacts to its lesions with inflammation and the most common symptom of endometriosis is severe menstrual cramps. According to NHS website,there is no cure for it.

However,as this condition can impair fertility,there is more research on endometriosis than on primary dysmenorrhea.
But,for the both the conditions,doctors are unclear about the triggers,best possible treatments,and why it affects some women but not others.
Talking to Quartz,US expert Richard Legro from Penn State College of Nedicine said he was investigating period pain and has found evidence that sildenafil (also known as Viagra) can treat dysmenorrhea.

My wife was suffering from endometriosis pain for so may years, its an unbearable pain used to sit in hot water and finally doctor given Combeplam tablet, Meftal Spasm, pain killer like Baralgan injunction. Put her on medication for two years finally it leads to fertility problem.If any one suffer,please taken care of from the beginning to correct it and don't ignore.
