I do have to wonder how much of my ‘blood pressure being high’ was just due to 1) anxiety and 2) not being able to put the fact that this doctor basically killed my friend’s sister-in-law out of my mind
#okay she didn’t KILL her kill her but she failed to notice this woman had stomach cancer for well over a year#she presented with every symptom and this doctor kept fobbing her off; cancelling appointments; losing referrals etc#until Finally she managed to get referred to a specialist and they did a scan and found out she had stage 4 stomach cancer#she died six months after that. she’d been living without treatment for a year prior to diagnosis like… they could’ve saved her#this doctor specifically could’ve saved her#why did i see this doctor you ask? well there’s four doctors at my regular practice. two of them are male. i don’t fuck with male doctors#nothing against them but discussing my personal intimate problems with a man i don’t know and no chaperone is just not for me#i also had a male doctor repeatedly make weird comments about my body when i was a teenager so there is that#my dentist is a man though and we like him. one boy allowed#Anyway so there’s the two male doctors and then there’s this woman who basically killed my friend’s family member#and then there’s the other woman doctor but she is on leave at the moment and only taking phone appointments. she wouldn’t be back until#after my microgynon prescription ran out and she can’t take my blood pressure over the phone. so i was like. would i rather be examined#by a man or someone who is an idiot at best and negligent at worse. or take my chances with freeballing this shit (my period)#so there i am sitting in this woman’s office seething and no surprise; the best figure she could get from me was 121 over 95#bear in mind i’m usually sitting at 100 over 80. so.#she did take my blood pressure 5 times but the last time i saw she got an upper figure of 103 and she didn’t write the lower figure???#so i’m wondering if the meditation i was trying to do actually Did take my blood pressure down and she just didn’t want to accept it lol#should i buy a blood pressure monitor? i mean.. literally no because that’s an unnecessary expense and i’ve placed a moratorium#on unnecessary shopping in order to justify/afford a fucking TREADMILL#but seriously. i’m starting to wonder if i actually have hypertension or if i was just pissed at this woman. or if she’s just incompetent#i swear i’m not just mad because this is my second day of a reduced salt diet and i’m not enjoying it lol#i’m sticking to her orders i’m just….. i don’t know if it was bullshit or not. i mean how do i trust someone who watched a woman waste away#to skin and bone and continually fumbled referral paperwork and just overall failed to see that Something Was Very Wrong#i’m following her advice out of malicious compliance and because i don’t think it can hurt me but still. Still#personal

Actions That Can Reduce Your Breast Cancer Risk
There is no sure way to prevent breast cancer, but you can consider some things to follow that might help you lower your breast cancer risk. Breast cancer prevention starts with healthy habits and lifestyle choices such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, and staying physically fit. You need to understand what you can do to reduce the risk of breast cancer. If you are also concerned about developing cancer, then you might be finding some steps that you can take to prevent breast cancer. Let’s have a look at some steps and lifestyle changes that you can make to lower your risk of breast cancer.
Breast cancer prevention: How to reduce your risk?
Maintain a healthy weight
You must have a healthy weight because having extra body weight is harmful to you as it is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. This is even more severe for post-menopausal women. Furthermore, don’t even try to reduce your weight on your own by limiting your food intake, as this can be unhealthy for you. Firstly, reduce the intake of calories and then slowly increase the amount of daily exercise. Make sure you consult with your doctor about healthy ways of reducing weight. If you are looking for the best women’s treatment care services in Ahmedabadwho can help you with those problems, then get in touch with Diva Women’s Hospital today.
Tumblr media
Limit alcohol
There is a huge relationship between alcohol and breast cancer as alcohol increases the oestrogen levels in our bodies, which leads women to a higher risk of breast cancer. Hence, the more alcohol you drink, the greater your chances of developing breast cancer. Therefore, it is highly advised to not drink on a daily basis for better prevention of breast cancer. Moreover; you must have regular check-ups and tests of your breasts. At Diva Women’s Hospital, you will be offered with the best breast care services in Ahmedabad. Get in touch with ustoday to find out more about our services.
Know your family history
You must know your family history related to any kind of severe disease or cancer. This can help your doctor to recommend appropriate tests and medication, as well as genetic testing. Furthermore, if your family has a history of breast cancer or any kind of cancer, then you must start taking precautions of your own to reduce the chances of having the same in the near future. This is essential because your risk of breast cancer is doubled if your mother, sister, or daughter is diagnosed with breast cancer. In this case, you might be linked to having inherited a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene that leads you towards abnormal cell growth along with an increasing risk of breast cancer.
Tumblr media
Remain physically active
Exercise is a must for women as it helps in maintaining and achieving a healthy weight, which is associated with a lower risk of breast cancer. Exercise helps in proper blood circulation as well as consumes and regulates sugar in the body as well. Furthermore, it helps limit blood levels of insulin and hormones that can affect the behaviour and growth of breast cells. To be physically fit and active, healthy adults must aim for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity weekly.
Eat a healthy diet
Having a healthy eating and drinking habit is all you need to follow for reducing the risk of breast cancer or any kind of disease. This will help you maintain your energy level that is needed to be physically active. You must add four or five servings of fruits in your daily meal as its natural oxidants help in fighting against cancer cells. You must also consume food which is high in Omega-3 fatty acids and limit daily fat intake to 30 grams as well. Diva Women’s Hospital Breast Cancerdoctors and specialists guide its patients regarding healthy habits and precautions that individuals can take to avoid severe disease. 
Limit postmenopausal hormone therapy
If you are taking hormone therapy to manage post-menopausal symptoms, then must think twice before taking dosage because it can increase the risk of breast cancer. As we already mentioned that estrogen promotes the growth of breast cells which increases the risk of having breast cancer. At one side, this therapy helps women managing post-menopausal symptoms, it also increases the risk of breast cancer. Therefore; it is highly advised you to have lowest possible dosage along with following the recommendations and guidance of your doctor.

so my mom is in the hospital with pancreatitis + dehydration because she can’t keep fluids down + unbalanced acid levels because acid tablets are the only thing that combat the pain in her chest because her meds don’t work like they should and what do u know !! that all leads to organ failure !!
#but how are they supposed to regulate her diet to treat the pancreatic inflammation when she CANT EAT !!!!!!!#her illness is so rare and times like these it dawns on me how much of a lab rat she’s been the past two decades and how much MORE difficult#it is for us to get treatment for her. no surgeries work. she gets a myriad of health problems like diabetes and pancreatitis as long term#symptoms. absolutely ZERO research goes into her illness because it affects no one compared to something like cancer#it’s so fucking frustrating. it’s destroyed her life and ours and the doctors really don’t do shit for her#she wouldn’t have to take acid tablets if they gave her the proper fucking meds !!#because the acid reflux is just part of her illness so there’s no making that go away#the dehydration is because she literally cannot get food or water down because not only does her esophagus not work due to the disorder#but all of the failed dilations and surgeries have fucked it up beyond repair. the only option for that is to remove it#just like. i’m so upset because only some of this was avoidable.#the dehydration and inflammation was bound to happen because that’s just what happens with her illness. she can barley get liquids down#but the acidity?? she’s been telling them for weeks the meds aren’t working and she’s been taking the tablets to compensate. this is on them#RNRNGNNFNDNG having a member of your family with chronic health problems is hard enough as it is but i can’t stress how much worse it is#when the condition is rare. we have hardly any resources and have to travel to get ‘good’ treatment like the dilations that don’t work#and so much is just fucking troubleshooting because so much is unknown#and she’s only getting worse. she’s literally wasting away physically and mentally because she’s getting no sleep and no nutrients.#AND AAAAAAAAAA i don’t get upset about this often because it’s so normal for me for the past fifteen years#but holy shit i deserve to be angry#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA#every once in a while i really comprehend it all. how i had my mother robbed from me. from her own life. it makes me just sob#like i never did as a kid because i didn’t grasp it#if anyone read this far no well wishes please#i have a complicated relationship with her#and if anyone is curious what the disorder is it’s called achalasia and believe me i’m an encyclopedia when it comes to it#anyways.txt

The early symptoms of cancer in men you need to be aware of
Tumblr media
 Alterations in bowel habits, unexpected weight loss, testicular changes, and urine issues are all early signs of cancer in males. Recognizing cancer's warning signals can help a person's outlook greatly.
Males in the United States are more likely than females to die from cancer, according to the National Cancer InstituteTrusted Source (NCI).
Some people may miss early cancer symptoms or mistake them for symptoms of other illnesses. Knowing which symptoms could suggest cancer can aid in receiving treatment sooner.
This post will look at some of the most prevalent cancer early warning signals in men.
Bowel changes
Changes in bowel patterns can happen for a variety of reasons, and they're usually nothing to worry about.
Long-term bowel alterations, on the other hand, may indicate the presence of digestive illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Colorectal, bladder, and prostate cancer are among the cancers that can be indicated by these changes.
Anyone with severe or persistent constipation or diarrhoea, especially if their stools contain blood or rectal bleeding, should visit a doctor.
Itching, discomfort, rectal bleeding, and bloody faeces are all symptoms of haemorrhoids and colorectal cancer. Haemorrhoids, on the other hand, tend to flare up and then go away, so symptoms may only emerge on occasion. If a person has continuous or increased rectum bleeding, it could be a sign of cancer rather than haemorrhoids.
Urinary incontinence
People who find blood in their urine or sperm or who have trouble urinating on a regular basis should contact a doctor. These signs and symptoms could point to bladder cancer.
Urination that is painful or difficult might also be a symptom of prostate cancer. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), one out of every nine men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer can also cause the following symptoms:
Erectile dysfunction
loss of bladder or bowel control
a burning sensation when urinating
a weak urine stream
Loss of weight
Throughout the day, minor fluctuations in body weight might occur. Large meals, strenuous activities, and water consumption can all temporarily impact a person's weight.
Unintentional weight loss, on the other hand, should be discussed with a physician.
One research paper
Unintentional weight loss, according to Trusted Source, is defined as a person losing more than 5% of their body weight in fewer than 12 months without adopting any dietary or lifestyle modifications.
Unintentional weight reduction does not always indicate the presence of malignancy. However, this symptom should not be overlooked because it can indicate a variety of health issues.
Testicular alterations
According to the National Cancer Institute, testicular cancer is an uncommon disorder that doctors usually identify in men aged 20–34 years. In the early stages of testicular cancer, symptoms are not always present, and the first indicator is often a bump on the testicle.
Other testicular cancer symptoms include:

Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder. It affects the shape of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. 
Red blood cells are usually round and flexible, so they can move easily through blood vessels. In sickle cell disease, some red blood cells become crescent or sickle-shaped. These cells also become rigid and sticky, restricting the blood flow.

Cervical Cancer Awareness Month
Tumblr media
Understanding Cervical Cancer: Cervical cancer originates in the cervix, comprising the ectocervix and endocervix, where most cancers begin. Squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma are the primary types, with the former being more prevalent.
Signs and Symptoms: Identifying cervical cancer early is challenging due to its asymptomatic nature. However, symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, and vaginal bleeding may indicate its presence.
Risk Factors: Several factors, including weakened immune systems, smoking, multiple sexual partners, and early sexual activity, increase susceptibility to cervical cancer by fostering HPV infections and cervical cell alterations.
Complications: cervical cancer include metastasis, fertility issues, and side effects from treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.
Prevention Strategies: Preventive measures like HPV vaccination, limiting exposure to HPV, condom use, smoking cessation, and regular cervical cancer screening can significantly reduce the risk of developing cervical cancer.
Cervical Cancer Awareness Month: Observed annually in January, this month serves to educate the public about the early signs and symptoms of cervical cancer, promoting early detection and intervention to save lives.
Increased awareness and education about cervical cancer can lead to early detection, reducing mortality rates and improving overall outcomes.
